Romanticism, Realism, Modernism, Post-Modernism… where on Earth are we? We are on Earth, and it is a very strange place. Read about movement and momentum building among the arts.

A Manifesto for Hungry Rats
WHY SELF-PUBLISH?
First, I want to address the elephant in the room. For many years, self-publication was considered a symptom of wealthy mediocrity. Not that there weren’t exceptions. Perhaps you’ve heard of Benjamin Franklin, Edgar Allan Poe, Gertrude Stein, Walt Whitman, Charles Dickens, and Mark Twain?… Read the rest

CONCEPT: I’m back.
I was a good, consistent blogger from 2002 to 2007. But ever since I moved back to Chicago, I’ve been more unreliable about it. I’m hoping to return to the blog soon, and I will shortly be making changes to the appearance and content.

Concept: Collaborative Writing Project This Summer.
Elisabeth Blair and I are composing/editing a Gothic Funk novel to be titled Hollywood. However, it is set in Chicago.

Concept: Blue Skies Falling Blog Infiltrated.
On May 15, 2009 my personal website (connorcoyne.com) was infected by a malware program associated with Martuz .cn that inserted scripts into dynamic and static files at over 1500 distinct sites. The bug is discussed at http://blog.unmaskparasites.com/2009/05/18/martuz-cn-is-a-new-incarnation-of-gumblar-exploit/. Evidently the infection isn’t the result of any specific action on my part.
