Post Love

I left my wife three years ago.
I write about the women that fill up the void.

A Fiction Project Worth Supporting

drunken-soberness:

I wish I had more time to read. There are so many good writers out there who string words together like Christmas lights – tangled and messy sometimes but always beautiful and edifying.  There are a lot of shitty writers out there, too. It’s actually easier to find the pretentious, untalented wanna-be’s than it is to find the ones that have promise. But when you find the promising ones, they either have great narratives that pull you in or provocative pieces that make you laugh, cry, yell or just squirm in your seat.

Phil Roland is a promising writer who does both. When he writes stories like City of Angels or The Firefly Collector, you get sucked in to the story. And, if you follow Phil on Tumblr or his Submetropolitan blog, I don’t have to tell you how he incites people. His Submet articles have tugged at my heart strings (yes, I have a few), raised my eyebrows, and tested my gag reflex. Hell, he’s even pissed me off at one time. I don’t always agree with what he says (and you don’t have to either) but it doesn’t change the fact that this motherfucker writes eloquently and passionately.

When I heard the premise for his LA-based novel, South of Heaven, I was immediately hooked. I want to read this book. I want Phil to finish this so I can read it. I need you to get the word out about his Kickstarter project so he can write the novel. Heck, give the man some money so we can all make him regret he got us involved. Even a $1 donation will earn you the privilege to irritate him.

Supporting this Kickstarter helps me out a lot, too. I need to get Phil off my lawn and in to his own hovel where he can write naked while cussing at his own shadow. He’s scaring my suburbanite neighbors and the cigarette butts and empty beer bottles littering my front yard will soon get me a health citation. All kidding aside though, kids; you know how powerful this community can be. The supportive people and creative environment is what keeps me here. Let’s see how influential we can be as a collective and help one of our own show the publishing industry this medium is a viable source for great new talent.

Are you in? Then reblog this shit. Tell your friends about it. Steal money from your parents. And for extra incentive, buddyblanc has pledged to do a video if we hit $2500 by the end of June. I’ll even ask him to do the video naked if we get this project fully funded.

Note: Phil’s not actually living on my front lawn. He’s been recently spotted loitering the Glendale Metrolink station where he’s hijacking some unsuspecting Armenian old lady’s Wifi connection and terrorizing the genteel hobo populace of Burbank/Glendale. I take the train to Glendale sometimes. I am afraid for my life. Please help.

    Maybe you didn’t see this post earlier today or maybe you’re just tired of me pushing writers I like on you. Whatever...
