The Michael Arnzen Social Network

Social networking is a chaotic mess, so I've created a new weblog as a central hub for posting mobile photos, sharing errant items, weird notions, and personal items that don't quite belong here on The Goreletter.

Dark Promptings: Murder Ballads from Jason Jack Miller

"Dark Promptings" is a special series of guest-written creative writing prompts, aimed at sparking the imagination's gasoline for writers from any genre...but with a dark or devious discoloration, just like the Instigation department at Gorelets.com. The guest contributors are folks who wrote articles appearing in my fat new non-fiction book for fiction writers of all kinds, Many Genres, One Craft: Lessons in Writing Popular Fiction, making a stop here at gorelets.com as part of their Virtual Book Tour across the web.
