When I walk along beaches and forested trails, my mind races with new writing projects, with new voices, with bylines, no bylines, or a pseudonym. <\/p>\n
I want to start a magazine that features fresh Oregon writing and art. Its editorial slogan: \u201cMystery over Journalism.\u201d I want to recruit untrained Oregon writers without credentials to submit their work. I want to recruit established Oregon writers who are sick of their voice and subjects and long to try new approaches. They are out there. <\/p>\n
In this magazine, I want to publish long lost Oregon writing and give it new life. I want to publish daring stories and memoirs. <\/p>\n
I would only publish poems about clearcuts if the poet had actually walked through one. The words dappled and glinted would be prohibited. <\/p>\n
I want to publish work by incarcerated men and women. I want to publish messages written in driftwood forts (a regular column).<\/p>\n
Novels float in and out of my consciousness. I’ve got ideas for three, one a Western. I am thinking about resurrecting my old teaching novel now that my teaching career is over, obliterated. Writing from a point of obliteration is an interesting perspective, let me assure you.<\/p>\n
I recently submitted some work to an Oregon literary review distinguished by its utter lack of grit. <\/p>\n
I like writing tales. I just completed a 4000-word tale about a man who transforms into a beaver. It is without any prospects for commercial publishing. I’ve got about 10 solid Oregon tales in the can. I’d like to publish them in print one day. <\/p>\n
I miss reading the writing of high school students. Some of their stories and memoirs have never left me. <\/p>\n
My writing about Oregon Tavern Age life is shortly coming to an end. It’s time. <\/p>\n
A friend recently gave me a typewriter in excellent condition. I think I will begin a novel by typing on this machine. I think I write differently using a typewriter. <\/p>\n\n
