Sweet, my glitter covered squirrel Mosaic made up of torn up holiday decorated paper beer coasters will be epic. Thanks for the info Chuck.

You know, Chuck, I considered myself to be a reasonably well-read person before I came to this Substack/met you, but you have introduced me to so many incredible books I had never even heard of. I just read The Debt to Pleasure. Loved it. I feel like that guy would be right at home hanging out with Otto and Cecil.

Won’t be making the cross-country trip to PDX next week, but I was feeling festive, so…check out my Letter to Santa:

Too bad I’m on the other side of the country. What am I going to do with my letters to Santa?

Send them, perhaps?… 😁😉

I'd be interested in entering the Squirrel drawing competition, would the bar accept entries from Budapest?

Hey Chuck, do you have any tips on flash fiction? What is your goal for a piece of flash fiction? Do you try to include a complete plot, or do you focus on one beat, one element? It seems like a stretch to include a whole plot in a few hundred words.

I do hope the event is lots of fun! Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend. That being said... I will draw a squirrel - for the fun of it.

Dont forget to wrap your squirrel in duct tape.

Also, I would draw The Coasters on a Coaster if I werent forever away.
