| From Christopher: "years ago i wrote a book. shortly afterward, i did my first public reading. a little while passed and i began doing more speakings. everywhere from my living room to coffeehouses to colleges to backrooms of pubs to patios of restaurants. ive spoken everywhere that would have me and some places that regretted it. short tours turned into longer tours in different countries. all of this born out of an idea that i could convey ideas that other people could identify with. and knowing that there were people out there who felt the way i did didnt make me feel so alone. for that, i couldnt say thank you enough. as many of you know, i no longer tour doing speakings. while it is my love and my passion, i want to keep it honest and sincere. there are very few real things i have in my life and i refuse to bastardize what i have left so i have taken a step back to learn to appreciate the gifts i have been given. last year i toured in scotland, england, canada and australia. for those of you who never had the chance to come hear me speak i have now uploaded a speaking i did in brooklyn last september. after each speaking i would pass around a tip box asking for donations to help pay my bills because this is the only way i make my money. so the suggested donation for the download is $10.

| "this spring i will be putting out a deadxstop 'reader'. aka: a compilation book of non-fiction short stories. i have asked many of my friends and writers that i think have interesting and unique takes on lifes moments to write for this. i really think this will be an awesome way to showcase some talent you may not have read. some people you probably havent heard of, some you have. either way, their job is to give me an entertaining story. so where do you come in? well, truthfully i do not have the time nor the energy to read hundreds of long ass stories, so what i need you to do is send 2 short example paragraphs of the story and a separate paragraph for the theme of your story to: dxs006@hotmail.com things to keep in mind: - i will not be the only person judging your writing. there will be 2 other judges that you will have to impress. so if you think writing about american nightmare and cat shit will garner you points, it wont. - the stories can be anything from funny to introspective to disgusting to downright crushing. all that i ask is that it be a UNIQUE and entertaining perspective. - please do not send me a story about feeling lost or your grandmother dying or your broken heart. sure, i have written about these things, we all have, but i think thats better left to blogs. what im looking for is a fresh perspective on something. hell, if you can make eating cookies sound amazing, do it. if you work at a sewage plant and want can have me on the edge of my seat telling me about processing shit, make it happen. DO NOT COME BORING. - that being said, do not over-paint this picture. leave the victorian prose to the experts. the overuse of adjectives and adverbs will not over up your inability to express yourself. - just because i have left open 5 spots, does not mean they will be necessarily filled. if no one sends in anything we find unique or entertaining, we might only fill 3 spots or 1 spot. - just because i slept on your floor one time in 2005 doesnt mean you will be given preference points. if you are reading this and you are my friend, show friend, family or ex-girlfriend, this does not mean you have an 'in'. - this contest is open to EVERYONE. mom and dad, little brothers who have never heard of me and hateful kids on message boards, hey, heres your chance to get published. - if you are chosen, your story will be expected to be between 1000-6000 words. - if you would like to remain anonymous, i can respect that. i will be willing to use your pen name. - last submission date will be january 4th. winners will be announced the next week." Good luck to everyone who enters! |
