The smells outside have changed. The temperature has dropped.

The pressure is on, but not totally cooking, because you are free to write pure crap. Their website says so. As long as you can reach 50,000 words by November 30th starting November 1st, you are free to edit in December, no strings attached. I've already begun the process, so can you! ]]> http://theneave.com/write-your-first-novel-on-nanowrimo/feed/ 1 http://theneave.com/one-dollar-stories/ http://theneave.com/one-dollar-stories/#comments Mon, 01 Nov 2010 05:56:37 +0000 Alessandra Rizzotti http://theneave.com/?p=34806 Jessica Lee Garrison has a distinct approach to the short story. Her dialogue is erotic but not overly so, lucid, and cleverly succinct. This past year, she sold her short stories for one dollar each at LA parties and events in small little booklets that could easily fit in a Levi's pocket. Now, I am excited to say, she's compiled all of them into one book. It's too big to fit in your pocket, but perfect in every other way. ]]> http://theneave.com/one-dollar-stories/feed/ 1 http://theneave.com/half/ http://theneave.com/half/#comments Sun, 24 Oct 2010 21:36:39 +0000 Lawrence Goodwin http://theneave.com/?p=34592 Troy sat down with a bagel and a cup of coffee and took a bite out of the bagel.  It [...]]]> http://theneave.com/half/feed/ 0 http://theneave.com/sunday-essay-on-hatred/ http://theneave.com/sunday-essay-on-hatred/#comments Sun, 17 Oct 2010 22:01:42 +0000 Lawrence Goodwin http://theneave.com/?p=34370 At one o’clock I typed my employee number and took several deep breaths.  “Another eight hours of your life–no big [...]]]> http://theneave.com/sunday-essay-on-hatred/feed/ 1 http://theneave.com/my-drunk-halloween-night-told-with-sexy-costumes/ http://theneave.com/my-drunk-halloween-night-told-with-sexy-costumes/#comments Tue, 12 Oct 2010 05:07:38 +0000 Alessandra Rizzotti http://theneave.com/?p=34097 My girlfriend was a sexy flight attendant. Probably larger and sexier than most flight attendants. To be honest, she was larger than the plane she flew in on. One night, sexy Osama Bin Laden tries to get up in my girlfriend's grill. And I'm like, "Look bitch. I'm a sexy policewoman. Back off of my girlfriend.
