This week is: Worst Excuses For Not Posting My Thursday 13 On Time
1. “I Was Saving Like, Twenty Infants From A Burning Building.” Seriously. Didn’t you see that on …

Little TKT lounging in style on our nations b-day.Okay, so I cheated and back-dated this post to make it seem like I’m a better blogger. I’m not. There’s no getting around it.
Anyway, had a decent day. We installed a screen-door on the front of our house (oooooh!) and spent the evening at my brother’s house in Hudson, Wisconsin. …
Lil’ Post
Hiya.
Not much new and exciting here today.
Okay, that’s not entirely true.
I got a request for a full read of my old baby Travis & the Magic Sandbox. Pretty exciting. I decided to see if I had any new luck and lo and behold…BAM! An agent I have much, much respect for decided it sounded fun and wants …

Plate? Not Full Enough, Apparently.
Yo, yo, yo.
Well, I did something that might be construed as kind of stupid yesterday. You know that company that’s going to publish my wee little book next January?

Yeah. …
Good News, Good News…
(the subject line is to be read like Roscoe P. Coltrane from the Dukes of Hazzard)
Well, I fired out a couple more queries today and lo and behold…
One stuck.
An agent (who shall remain nameless for now) replied within an hour and a half with this nice message:
Dear Thomas, I would love to read this story. What …
Magnetic Poetry Bandit Part 2
Okay. Remember this post?
Chances are you missed it. You were probably so enraptured with my 1990 mullet that you didn’t scroll down and read the previous post from that day. Go ahead and read it now. We’ll wait.
