So what’s a writer do when they’re not writing? Look for more stuff to write about, mostly.

Ryan Werner‘s started up “Our Band Could Be Your Lit,” wherein he’ll write 100 stories under 700 words based on songs suggested by readers.  You can follow him on Twitter, too.  I’ve sent in mine.  Have you sent in yours?

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “That sounds kinda, sorta similar to yt sumner‘s ‘You and Me’ project.”  Well, Ryan thought so, too.  He freely admits she inspired his site.  More to the point, have you sent yt your damn postcard yet?  She’s still not at 100.  Check the details and then fucking do it.

Speaking of authors who want you to send them stuff, Victor David Giron‘s Curbside Splendor wants your submissions!  He’s looking for literary fiction and poetry based in contemporary urban settings.  You can find updates on Facebook, too.  They’re only a few pieces in, but so far so good.

And then there’s Stephen Schwegler. He and I got bored and wrote a ridiculous story entitled “Screw the Universe” over e-mail. Now we’re shamelessly sharing it with the world. Thanks, internet!

So what’s everyone else doing?  Got a website or a project you need a hand with?  Feel free to leave a link in the comments or e-mail info@jerseydevilpress.com with whatever you’ve got.

Sharing is caring, friends, and we care.  We care so hard.

yt sumner of “Big Girl” fame is currently in need of your assistance.

She wants postcards. Lots of them. With words on the back. Because she wants to turn those words and postcards into flash fiction. Lots of it.

All the details can be found on her site.

She’s not stopping until she gets a hundred of them, so let’s help her out. Together we can prove once and for all that the internet isn’t just for porn.

Please, please, please, for the love of God, don’t send her porn.
