Mindstorm

A fearsome & fantastic journey to the heart of the Savage Id.

Name:
Location: Invisible City, North Dakota, United States

Read my book, The Mind-Warp Era. It'll tell you about the real Lead--& his alter-ego, the true Rootboy covered with slime (the Savage Id). Partly a poignant memoir, partly a cosmicomic book, it relays the Id's adventures thru dark dimensions of funereal dread, with Timothy Leary as co-pilot. (The rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated.)

Andromeda Spaceways' UFO crashes near Invisible City

This morning, Robbie Matthews, editor in chief of Andromeda Spaceways, an amateur magazine in Australia, exposed himself for the amateur he truly is. 2 or 3 months ago, I sent him "Quantum Amplifier", & heard nothing back from him for several weeks. I'd sent him a note expressing my displeasure over one of his reader's remarks about "Fragile Eggshell Mind", so he deliberately stalled the submissions process. When I asked if I'd been blacklisted, he advised me to "tone down the paranoia" (that's a job for Risperdal & Abilify, & is not my responsibility), that he was simply "behind".

That was 2 months ago. Yesterday, I finally wrote & asked him to either start the reading process or I'd withdraw my story. This morning, he replied, saying, "Fine. Take it. I no longer care.". This is good, as publishers who take ridiculously long times with stories are to be shunned, as are editors who send back whole pages of insults when they don't like a story. Andromeda Spaceways is a cheap-ass, stupid, dipshit magazine with ignorant editors. Hell, you can tell they're an amateur market: no professional one would act this way, & besides, even though they ultimately rejected it, all the pro magazines had comments on it. Some Rebeboed Bozo King at the magazine has a real arrogant attitude, & I'll tell every writer I meet not to submit there, as they're a strictly AMATEUR market.

& so it goes. (I am really Curt Vague-&-Nuts. I wrote Venus on the 1/2-shell, but lost all the buckadingdongs in the lawsuit.)
