Writing Exercises

My notes from the first meeting of groop in 2008 can be re-purposed as writing exercises. Your submission of 350 words or less is due February 28. The winning short short story or beginning of a short story or beginning of a novel or poem or diatribe or autobiography will be posted to the website and will receive a secret prize (to be disclosed when we also reveal our get-rich-quick can't-believe-no-one-else-is-doing-this scheme in a few weeks.)

1. Start a story with the line: "One day, my grandmother decided that I should collect bells." (Jen)

2. White lies. Your thoughts? (Unattributed)

3. How do you put leaves on the poet tree? (Nick)

I look forward to your submissions.

More SKIDOO love, this time from the Village Voice:

If only I were getting paid for all this pimping...

Mo' SKIDOO

Since the SKIDOO floodgates are about to burst, here's a sample of my appearance at the sold-out Egyptian Theater screening. Wish y'all could have been there.
Well, now you will be. Forever.

I'm Just Sayin'...

SKIDOO will be on Turner Movie Classics Friday January 4.
