It’s got to be a wind-up

Written by:Stephen Mitchelmore.

The newest Official members of the Underground Literary Alliance are James Nowlan and Noah Cicero. They’re great additions. Their work to date embodies today’s underground writing. [...] Both writers value honest emotion and truth above sterile posturing and craft. Their fiction is raw and unmediated.

Stop sniggering at the back!

Oh, you’ve got to feel sorry for the poor, deluded twats of the ULA. I wonder what its spokeman King Wenclas would say if he found out that one of his new members spent hours and hours reworking each sentence in order to make it as raw and unmediated as possible? Is there is cut off point, do you think? If you take longer than 14 seconds to write a sentence then you’re posturing in a sterile fashion! OK, I’m being harsh. Make it 15.
