News, Links, Pumpkins, Etc.

It's Sunday night, and a brief, general update thing is about all I'm capable of...

• Freight Stories nominated my story "Why We Came to Target at 9:58 on a Monday Night" for Dzanc's Best of the Web anthology. Thanks to editors Andrew Scott and Victoria Barrett.

• Some recent acceptances from SmokeLong Quarterly, Waccamaw and jmww.

• Random Ethan quote: "Daddy, should we have a conversation?"
  

• I'm horrible at updating my blog, but a while back I finally updated my links to include some great writers. You should check them out.

• Just made the easiest, unhealthiest enchilada casserole ever (recipe and ingredients courtesy of Trader Joe's).

• Lastly, the family recently went on our annual pumpkin patch pilgrimage. Photos below.
