Random Thoughts: April 2006

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Monday, April 24, 2006. Branding Excercises, or "Truth in Eating". So, I'm still high over Jim Atwell's column. In the Cooperstown Crier. I do PR in my day job, which means I read at least ten newspapers every day. Yet making time for my hometown weekly is a luxury in which I gladly partake. For example: Give me pate de fois gras. Another one I haven't tried yet, but wouldn't mind tasting: Sweetbreads. Tiny, bony, salty fish that someti...

Random Thoughts: February 2006

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Friday, February 24, 2006. Location, Location, Location. Has a terrific post on his blog today. He talks about living in a "small town" of "50,000 people" in Montana. I know all this because I grew up in Cooperstown, population, just over 2,000. Here's the kicker: My writing is all about small towns. Well, let me explain a little. My second novel starts in a setting where I've never been and never hope to be: state prison. But it mo...

Random Thoughts: July 2006

http://adamhurtubise.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Monday, July 24, 2006. So I'm taking (good-natured) fire over on Kelly Malloy. S blog because I hate yard work and she loves it. If I ever write a manifesto, "I hate yard work" will be ahead of "I hate Republicans," but behind "I love Bruce Springsteen.". Let me put it into perspective: I'd rather clean the bathroom. Twice. And do the laundry. Then the dishes (but don't mention that part to the Saint). Oh, yeah. We had more Sangria&...

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Thursday, May 25, 2006. Hey, everybody, have a happy and safe weekend, with lots of barbecues. Has a series of wonderful posts to remind me what the weekend really means. To Lt Ed Novak in the Undisclosed Location, I'm thinking of you, right now. I should paraphrase the Boss. Maybe mess around with his lyrics:. Drivin' in to Otsego County,. Me and Ed on the Fourth of July. Labels: Family and Friends. Posted by Adam Hurtubise at 10:36 PM.

Random Thoughts: December 2005

http://adamhurtubise.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Saturday, December 31, 2005. I don't make resolutions. Well, that's not entirely true. Mostly, I've stopped making them. In 2003, I resolved to join a gym and to sign with a top literary agent. I joined the gym on January 3 (about 5 days after I made the resolution), and missed my self-imposed signing deadline by less than a month. Close enough for me. I'm still going to the gym, by the way. I don't need any more resolutions. 7 I made a...

Now has a partial transcript of the Alito hearings from the. Backstreets links to the full transcript, by the way. Here's the cut and paste:. ALITO V. THE CRUSHING HAND OF FATE. Nominee Samuel Alito can be counted as a Springsteen fan. The subject of the. Boss actually came up in this week's confirmation hearings, in this exchange. I am to some degree, yes.

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Tuesday, June 27, 2006. Has a terrific new online literary journal called The Picolata Review. Go check it out. Pay particular attention to Jamie Ford. S stunning short story, entitled I am Chinese. I can't link to it directly, but click on The Picolata Review site and scroll down. Mark's done a wonderful job, and Jamie's piece is brilliant. Then get back to work. I hope you find the autopilot. Posted by Adam Hurtubise at 9:00 PM. It's ...

Random Thoughts: March 2006

http://adamhurtubise.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Had a great post the other day, asking what we listen to when we blog. It appealed to me because I often listen while I write, by necessity, not by choice. Whether I'm listening for research or pleasure, however, the culprits remain the same: Springsteen, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson. Sometimes, as I've previously posted, I need to reveal my inner badass. Instead of listening to hard rock, that's w...Since...

Random Thoughts: Placeholding

http://adamhurtubise.blogspot.com/2012/06/placeholding.html

Writing, getting published and whatever else I feel like discussing. Friday, June 08, 2012. OK, not really. This isn't a placeholder. This is an actual update. But who knows when I'll update again? It's been more than 4 and a half years since I suspended blogging. (That's Springsteen. Shows 13-19, if you're scoring at home.). I interrupt this blog hiatus to announce that Oldest Son has graduated from high school. (He was in eighth grade when you last read about him here. Would be happy to hear this.
