New mud luscious and Blue Print Review.

Blue Print Review and mud luscious, two quite fine literary e-zines that have been great supporters of the Repetition Patterns - see here and here respectively - have new issues out and we think that you might want to take a look. Now, will doing so change your life? We think its a distinct possibility.

Tanzer is developing a further depth to his writing with each work. Repetition Patterns gets mud luscious'd and likes it. A lot.

Big thanks to J.A. Tyler and the crew at mud luscious for their very kind review of Repetition Patterns in the new edition of this most excellent of literary zines. We are much appreciative and have even posted a snippet below for your viewing pleasure. Please have at it, and J.A., drinks are on us for sure when next we cross paths.

"Tanzer is developing a further depth to his writing with each work, even the revisions of previously published works. Pay attention; we are learning."

Self-absorption rocks, but let's pause shall we for a big shout-out to the new ml press.

We here at TBWCYL, Inc. and This Blog Will Change Your Life have always prided ourselves on our rampant self-absorption and focus on our most selfish of self interests. In fact, it has always been one of the key guidelines for writing this blog. Still, we have also been sure along the way to celebrate independent anything, and as needed, Elizabeth Crane, reality television, pop culture and maybe, just maybe Diane Lane. We write this because it occurred to us during yesterday's board meeting that between Most Likely You Go Your Way I'll Go Mine, Repetitions Patterns and This Zine Will Change Your Life we have been tremendously and arguably as terrifically self-absorbed as ever lately, and so starting today we are going to give back, we are of course givers too, no really we are, ask anyone, and focus some on those around us, starting with the kick-ass new press from the profically published J.A. Tyler, who we are big fans of here at headquartes and have even podcasted with to wonderfully moving results. J.A.'s new limited edition, 1000 word max ml press is a spin-off of his excellent literary journal mud luscious, and has already released a number of stellar pieces which have not only been well-received, but are selling-out like mad. Sounds pretty cool, right, yes it does, so please pay ml press a visit and give J.A. a shout, we think it just might change your life.

This Podcast Will Change Your Life, Episode Nine - Gigantic and Massive.

All right, we have to ask, how many of you got to hang out at The Alley Cat coffee shop in Fort Collins this week and talk writing with the quite cool, quite engaging, and dare we say quite striking, J.A. Tyler, who has been published in so many wonderful places though maybe none more wonderful of course than our very own This Zine Will Change Your Life? We're guessing not too many of you, but it's okay, really, because we did, and we recorded the conversation and you can now listen to the resulting podcast - Gigantic and Massive. We would add, that during the trip we also had the chance to read J.A.'s novella The Girl in the Black Sweater from Trainwreck Press, and with its mix of pain, compulsion and borderline surrealism, we can't recommend it strongly enough.

And now let us pause for a moment to celebrate some of our favorite writers.

Nice. We thought we would take a moment and celebrate two of our favorite writers, both of whom, not so coincidentally, have been previously published in This Zine Will Change Your Life. First, Corey Mesler has a new poem up on Verse Daily called A Poem About Monkeys. And second, the new issue of Mud Luscious is out which is overseen by none other than J.A. Tyler. Pretty cool, right, so why not pay them a visit? Who knows, it just might change your life.
