Alfonso Mangione: October 2010
http://alfonsomangione.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 15, 2010. The Publishing Odyssey Continues to Continue. So I've decided that this fall will be the optimum time for a renewed campaign to get my book published, and to get published in general. Unfortunately I've had a hard time mustering up the energy. I've detailed some of my recent failures and frustrations here in the back pages of this blog. Past efforts to get published have involved perhaps even more work, with even fewer results. A whale wallowing on the beaches! If you're so incl...

Alfonso Mangione: Criticism of "Criticism of Criticism"
http://alfonsomangione.blogspot.com/2011/09/criticism-of-criticism-of-criticism.html
Tuesday, September 13, 2011. Criticism of "Criticism of Criticism". I realized it pretty soon after I posted my "Criticism of Criticism". Post (I just updated this with a hyperlink, in case you're too lazy to scroll two posts down.). Why am I telling you this? Two words: Catholic Guilt. I'm pretty sure my main point's still pretty valid, though- online reviews supposedly indicate quality, but it's hard to gauge the quality of the reviews themselves. And nothing is ever really objective, anyway.

Alfonso Mangione: September 2010
http://alfonsomangione.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Salespeople babble on phones. Blasting out cold calls. Here I clean records. While chaos seeps through headphones. For seven long years. I've worked in telecom but. Can't transfer a call. I find an "Unknown, Jesus". Works for Bulk TV. And bright falling orange sun. Turns El trains silver. Saturday, September 25, 2010. I remember tracing photos in picturebooks. With pens as a young boy. Straining to capture the beauty in images. That had brought me so much joy. Things that you...

Alfonso Mangione: August 2010
http://alfonsomangione.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 11, 2010. My head’s a DVD factory. Filling up with rejects. Shitty dialogue and looping scenes. Of freak sex pretexts. 8220;We’re girls and friends, that’s awesome! I say we have a threesome.”. It’s fearsome, I’m dejected. By this neverending dance. The flutter in my heart. And the aching in my pants. No romance, I just want the bed. To re-enact bad porn. Being filmed in my head. That’s falling from the conveyor belt. To the factory floor. Gotta grab these discs before. Drinking in dump...

Alfonso Mangione: Query Shark
http://alfonsomangione.blogspot.com/2011/09/query-shark.html
Tuesday, September 13, 2011. One other thing I've got to read: the archives from this awesome blog I've somehow only now discovered,. I've gotten so used to the current No-Response-means-No state of the industry that this agent's level of author (and public) interaction seems downright saintly. Although I think my query letter's damn near perfect, and my manuscript's not far behind, I'm still going to put the former through the Query Shark wringer. Wait, no, that's mixing metaphors. Damn!

Alfonso Mangione: December 2011
http://alfonsomangione.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 18, 2011. I have to be honest—I hate blogging. It’s an intriguing medium, and its best practitioners— Andrew Sullivan. Say—keep it pretty lively, to the point that there’s a lot of interaction between writer and audience, which is part of the point of this whole writing thing. But still, I ain’t exactly doing this in real time.). Say, or Dostoevsky’s. Or even Bukowski’s. Or David Foster Wallace’s. Knew who he was, at least! Super Sad True Love Story. He had to enlist the help of his M...
