First Easy Street Carnival of Writing and Art
Sunday, September 27, 2009
Welcome to the September 27, 2009 edition of the Easy Street Carnival of Writing and Art. Thanks to everyone who fearlessly submitted their work! I should call this the "Brief Issue" since everyone had only two weeks to post and submit, but that didn't affect volume of submissions that poured in. My only sadness was the absence of any art, photography, or 'genre bending' submissions. Nothing but writers this time around.
The competition was stiff! Take a little time to enjoy this month's Editor's Picks and Must Reads. Leave a comment on their posts and congratulate them. They deserve it.
Editor's Picks:
Gretchen Draper's poem, AUNT SASSY SINGS, posted at Room to Write.Susan Helene Gottfried's flash fiction piece, Lyric Fiction: Robin Hood, posted at West of Mars.
Kevin Erickson's creative nonfiction piece, I Speak "Thingie", posted at Preachers and Horse Thieves.
Must-Reads
Nathanael Rey's creative nonfiction piece, Adventures on VBC (Salsa Night, Round 2), posted at This is How it Feels.
axel's creative nonfiction piece, Meditating In Japan, posted at axel g.
Lisa Illichmann's fiction piece, Lisa Illichmann » Saving Worms, posted at Lisa Illichmann.
Alan Seaver's poem, The Poison Garden, posted at Collapsing World.
Patrick Bernauw's poem, Memoirs of Lord Halloween, posted at The Lost Dutchman.
Shawntel Wilson's short story The Kill House posted at Lyon's Roar Protection Agency.
If your piece didn't make this month's edition of Easy Street's Carnival of Writing and Art, don't you dare give up. The second edition is coming up in another month and you'll have scads of time to post and submit. Artists and photographers - I'm looking forward to seeing an avalanche of pieces, so go crazy.
Submit your blog article to the next edition of Easy Street's Carnival of Writing and Art using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
Deadline: Friday, October 30, 2009

September 27, 2009 10:00 AM Certainly there's no pun on the competition being stiff and my own submission... nope. None at all.
Thanks for naming me an Editor's Choice. I'm thrilled and flattered.

September 27, 2009 2:09 PM Thank you, THANK YOU! What a great honor. I'm enjoying reading the Editor's Choice and other Must Reads. I can't tell you how much this means on a day when my face is so full of snot that my teeth hurt and I just want to crawl in bed and sleep. Suddenly, I've got a second wind. Thanks Monda!
