Caught w/ String: The Quarterly is New
http://caughtwithstring.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-quarterly-is-new.html
Writing. Debauchery. Cats. Tuesday, June 10, 2014. The Quarterly is New. I always forget you, little buddy, and maybe soon you'll be left for good, since I'm creeping towards getting a website. Sigh. You'll always have a place in my dark little heart. Anyway. Updates on the subject of writing . . . I won the Deborah Slosberg Memorial Prize in Poetry, from UMASS Amherst, and this is a funny thing, because I don't really write much poetry. Posted by Andrew M. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Caught w/ String: September 2012
http://caughtwithstring.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Writing. Debauchery. Cats. Thursday, September 6, 2012. Probably too soon to announce this, but I'm rogue like that. My story, "More Vital Than Air," about Jewish things and an astronaut and Ms. Ukraine, got picked up by one of my favourite literary publications in the whole country, the Pilot Pocket Book. You're probably wondering why this thing is so amazing. Aside from being a sassy little thing you can keep in your back pocket, you mean? Peep the mission statement! Go on, I say! Posted by Andrew M.

BeLEAGUEred: Adventures in Roller Derby Administration: Keeping Your League Clean with a Grievance System
http://beleagueredderby.blogspot.com/2013/06/keeping-your-league-clean-with.html
BeLEAGUEred: Adventures in Roller Derby Administration. Sunday, June 16, 2013. Keeping Your League Clean with a Grievance System. Just like my example of my childhood trauma, it’s important that your grievance process be a multi-stage process. My mom did. Warn me about the cursing before she reached for the soap. It’s important that, like my mom did, you give people a chance to remedy their behaviour. People screw up and make bad decisions. It’s natural. You can think of the &...Many leagues use a five s...

BeLEAGUEred: Adventures in Roller Derby Administration. Thursday, January 24, 2013. Broken Bones and Broken Hearts. In my last post, I ended with a thought that sometimes people in your league need some extra looking after. I'd like to spend this post talking about about what is probably the largest segment of those people: injured skaters. Make it a group effort. What I did to try and help my teammates wasn't enough because it can't just be one person trying to help. It has to be a concentrated effo...

BeLEAGUEred: Adventures in Roller Derby Administration. Wednesday, January 29, 2014. A Very Derby JanYOUary. Get less wound up about things. I recently went to the allergist (yes, I'm the type of nerd that requires special doctor to recommend a good nasal spray) and she complimented me on my low blood pressure. I said "oh, well that's good to know" but what I really wanted to say was "Really? Hmmm Must be because I've been away from the internet for an hour.". Email inbox making you punchy? I actually ha...

BeLEAGUEred: Adventures in Roller Derby Administration: Smarch Madness!
http://beleagueredderby.blogspot.com/2013/02/smarch-madness.html
BeLEAGUEred: Adventures in Roller Derby Administration. Wednesday, February 27, 2013. We - or rather I - decided to call the voting Smarch Madness because March Madness (the big college basketball tournament in the States) is all about the brackets. But since it wasn't March yet, we had to call it something else. I decided to take my inspiration from Homer Simpson:. Our Smarch Madness brackets: in beautiful Technicolor. Other roller derby teams with similar/same names. Easy to pronounce and spell? If you...
