“Don’t Try” words on Charles Bukowski’s Headstone
How did my name and email suddenly abracadra in your this section when I was merely lurking? That’s a good trick.
I think.
Maybe.
What a challenge this represents. I am always unsure as to how I will stack up. My God, I am in talking to people like Dinty. However, nothing ventured, nothing earned. I will be giving it a shot for Brevity’s sake.
AWP was amazing and reconfirmed my passion for writing non fiction -why do I have to work too?

Hey, thanks for the great resource. Just so you know I think that it’s actually “they’re” instead of “there” FYI.
Thank you for this link. I feel I am moving on in my writing journey from incorporating journalling and blogging to working again on the hardcore copy of my memoir.
Hi Brevity ,
I also , slept , on the beaches , of Espana , for half a year 🙂 I saw a comet , in the Ronda mountains , slept , on a humidly drenched bench , close to Cadiz , & walked through , a miles long wind turbine field 🙂 I did this , Nov2017 – May 2018 , & I’ve completed , a few , other Espanoles adventures , including , sleeping under abiat , for two months , in Las Palma’s , Gran Canaria 🙂
I have so much material ( since, I took photos ) ! I expect , your year , has presented you , with a mass of further “materials” , also :)–) angel.oceans.co.uk
Am I overlooking subscription information? Thanks.
I have recently discovered Brevity and have quickly come to value it – however – my mode of reading it is quite cumbersome – i can only read it in a browser and click through to each piece – is there any consideration to creating an app (i do the majority of my reading on an iPad) – it would make access easier and more portable

Am I overlooking information on subscribing to the magazine itself? I successfully subscribed to the newsletter with no problem.
