I tell the writing students at BSU that one of the most powerful aspects of being a writer is the habit of paying attention to the world, as opposed to letting it just slide by in a time-blur. This text is one example.
Sean Lovelace lives in Indiana, where he chairs the English Department at Ball State University. He wrote Fog Gorgeous Stag (Publishing Genius Press), How Some People Like Their Eggs (Rose Metal Press), and other flash fiction collections. He has won numerous national literary awards, including the Rose Metal Press Short Short Prize and the Crazyhorse Prize for Fiction. He has hip pain. And eats nachos.
