I wish I had something clever to say about this. Or even coherent. But I don't, and I've watched this I don't know how many times.

This one, on the other hand, is totally something from my childhood. It lurks in corners of my brain, and recently got dredged out when Netflix started streaming first season episodes of Sesame Street. I have a pre-schooler, and we watch Sesame Street. There is nothing like this on Sesame Street these days.
I'm still riding high on getting "The World is Bigger than an Ell" out there in the world, so I'm going to have a great weekend. I hope you do, too.
Hi, Shannon McMaster here. This is a blog from a time when I was pursuing a certain goal, and thought that using a pen name was a good idea. It was not a *bad* idea, but it proved to be a lot of effort for me, so I decided on a different approach. I'm not going to transfer this stuff to my personal site, though. Not now anyway.

On Nook! The World is Bigger than an Ell
I'm really happy to announce that "The World is Bigger than an Ell" is available at the Barnes & Nobel e-book store. Nook readers can now download it directly from their favorite retailer!I hope Nook readers enjoy the story, as well as the bonus material. I included two additional short works with "The World is Bigger than an Ell," the first is called "Because Love Resists Narrative," a villanelle (which is a form of poem), and "Meet Ashley's Neighbor," a short-short episode in a serial character sketch.
Ready? Here's the link!

On Kobo!: The World is Bigger than an Ell
Hey, gang!
Excellent news! Smashwords has accepted "The World is Bigger than an Ell" for distribution to other e-book retailers!
It's now available at the Kobo store. This is especially exciting to me, since Kobo specializes in distributing its e-readers through independent bookstores. And I love independent book stores.
In addition to the branded Kobo e-reader, Kobo has e-reader apps for your desktop and tablets, and for iOS, Android, and Windows operating systems.
Here's the link for the Kobo store's page for "The World is Bigger and an Ell!"

Now Available: The World is Bigger than an Ell
Sorry about that.
But, on the other hand, I have some fantastic news! I mean I'm really excited about this.
"The World is Bigger than an Ell" is now available at Smashwords!
I wrote it, and it's there and ready! It comes with two bonus items.
"The World is Bigger than an Ell" is about a man who develops a vision problem. Rather than the things in the world, he starts to see the shapes of things defined by the descriptions of them. Words begin to dominate his world in a way he'd never expected.
In addition, there's a villanelle called "Because Love Resists Narrative," about falling, and a super short called "Meet Ashley's Neighbor." Ashley's neighbor has problems.
I hope you enjoy it. I had a good time getting it ready for you.
