Election Day Distraction
If, like me, you are tired of hearing stories about how evil Republican robots are intimidating black people into not voting, then perhaps I can distract you with this.
I was recently asked by Quick Muse to contribute a piece. Here's the philosophy behind Quick Muse. They choose two writers and give them a theme. But the theme doesn't come up until the writer clicks a link on the website. The writer then has 15 minutes to write a piece, and when the 15 minutes are up, their screen shuts down. I think the idea is to give plebes a peek into the fascinating creative process of literary types. Of course, an average 15 minutes of my workday goes as follows: Masturbate, check baseball statistics, read paranoid political blog, check email, repeat. But I lied to Quick Muse and gave them a piece anyway. You can read the results here. The site also has a feature where you can watch my creative process unfold over the 15 minutes, if you really have to kill some time. So go there and enjoy the best sudden fiction ever written about a testicular rodeo.
And then get off your ass and vote.
