#introduction Hi! I’m Kim—a #writer and #editor. I love helping authors of the marvelous, fantastical, and strange harness their literary magic. I also edit #BoneParade.
I love to write (#magicalrealism, #speculative), read (#RichardBrautigan, #CarsonMcCullers, #PhilipKDick, #GabrielGarcíaMárquez, #VirginiaWoolf, #MilanKundera, #RichardYates), listen to music (#TheReplacements, #TomWaits, #LeonardCohen, #VicChesnutt), play #DnD, and be with my partner, our cat, and my favorite humanoids.
@KimSchebler oooh fellow DnD player!! I mainly play tabaxis
@sithsaravader Ohhh, awesome! My DM uses a home brew and there are no tabaxis in our realm—how sad! Three cheers for #DnD! :)
@KimSchebler Welcome! I am a longtime member of at least a couple of hours "In Watermelon Sugar" has to be one of the most *interesting* books I've ever read....I've read "Trout Fishing in America" too, but both very long ago.
@DavidJBackes Hahaha. Well, you've got a couple of hours on me! :) It's always nice to meet another person who's familiar with Brautigan!
@KimSchebler Hi Kim! I love your glasses!
@chweihmann Thank youuuu! :)
@troydarling Thank you! It's lovely so far and makes me nostalgic for the early days of the internet. :)
@KimSchebler I remember those days. It felt so futuristic to be connecting with people all over the world.
@KimSchebler
Hi Kim! Nice to connect
Three cheers for literary magic!
@AlextheZee Hi Alex! Thanks! :) Yay for literary magic cheers! :)
@KimSchebler a fan of Marquez and a writer of Magical Realism? NOICE! I’ve got to try my hand at writing MR at some point. It’s an intimidating pool to jump into. Years ago, I wrote a term paper on Marquez’s use of flowers in his short stories. I love him.
@BookSmart Hahaha. I hope you try your hand at writing magical realism. If you do, holler!
That sounds like a term paper I would enjoy reading! I remember flowers being prominent in Love in the Time of Cholera too. :)
@KimSchebler That checks many of my boxes! Nice to meet you
@jackheathwriter It's not often my interests check boxes! haha. Nice to meet you too, Jack! :)
@KimSchebler P.S. My buddy Gareth Ward just published a book which is perfectly at the nexus of D&D and Rick & Morty (I noticed your great patch!) https://www.batemanbooks.co.nz/product/tarquin-the-honest/
@jackheathwriter THAT SOUNDS SO FUN! Congrats to Gareth! I especially enjoy the part about there being GIANT ZOMBIES. lol. I'm going to share that link with my D&D party. :)
@KimSchebler Literary magic! I love it. :)
@KimSchebler Hi Kim, Welcome & I only joined yesterday. #philipkdick in your list caught my eye. In fact I'm just about to read 'I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon' - old school tech, paperback edition
@RicPELong Hi Rick! Ah, nice. I haven't read that one, but I see it's a collection of shorts. I'd love to know what you thought of it when you're finished. :)
@KimSchebler Tom Waits AND Philiop K. Dick? Awesome.
@tbrem Yay for shared favorites! :)
@KimSchebler Welcome, welcome!!
@itwasntme223 Thank you, thank you! :)
@KimSchebler You had me at Brautigan, you cemented it with Tom Waits!
