It's Been a Long Time...

filed under: , , , ,

So, furthermuckers: I haven’t blogged in over six months. What exactly does this mean?


Plenty has happened since the premature death of Michael Jackson. Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida took wifey and I out to dinner at Le Comptoir; I sipped some hot chocolate at Queen Ann with Sarah Jones and Steve Colman; I puffed a fatty visiting Saul Williams, welcoming my man to Paris noir; my son Kalel and I were “discovered” in Luxembourg Gardens for an international Dove Men + Care ad; I switched literary agents, to Pierre Astier & Ass.; I ran a 10K, with a half-marathon coming up on March 7; I traveled to Africa for the first time, giving some hiphop lectures in Algeria for black history month.

In the past six or seven months, the fire in my belly to blog wasn’t as raging as my need to tweet. Follow me at twitter.com/furthamucka and you’ll see I’ve been linking and pontificating like crazy at 140 words or less.

But.

I bought my first iMac last Saturday, and I’m feeling like all tings are possible. So here we go again, one time for your furthermuckin mind. Fresh for 2010. This is the reboot without the redesign (yet). Mic check… is this thing on? Heeere we go!

At last! Hit them, MML! Spare nobody!

I put a question to you in Formspring. Feel free to answer it there or by DM in twitter @AToptygin.

My wife is a Mac user, so she is proud of you :)

yeah, i guess i should detail all those goings-on. vendela’s my editor at the believer. they were visiting paris and just suggested we hook up for dinner with our spouses. nevermind that she’s married to one of my top 5 favorite modern writers. LOL. he picked up the tab, dinner was great.

So glad your back! I was checking the site every month or so to see if you posted anything. Glad that you have been so busy with work. If possible, can you give me advice on how to land an agent. My books have had a few reads by agents who say its good and well-written, but hard to sell. It is a coming of age tale about a young black girl in Philly.
