Posted by Akbar Lightning on Dec 1, 2009 in Akbar Lightning, Correspondence

Dearest Mr. Adams, This will be a rather short note, as I’ve included a long story I found today, while looking through the past, searching for my voice. As you know I’ve been working on a novel, and I’m stuck, and in some ways I’m stuck creatively all over the place. The world seems stuck […]
