cue the insanity…
Six weeks of writing, reading, critiquing, discussing, writing, drinking, partying, more critiquing, not sleeping, even more writing, and who knows what else. By which I mean: I’ll be going to Clarion West this summer. Thank you, everyone. Your support, whether it was words of encouragement, actual critiques and feedback on my submission story (and/or my…
patience, the end of
In all sober truth, I am actually not an impatient man. Stop laughing. It’s true. All I ask is that you not waste my time. I understand that life happens and circumstances decree needs must, but dude. If I, out of the generosity of my heart, have given you a couple of chances already, you…
new scent
I smell of woodsmoke, vanilla, and sex. Well, of the first two, anyway. The last is probably just my brain’s way of translating “deeply carnal yumminess” into one word. I took a trip to the Diptyque boutique this past weekend and picked up a bottle of Eau Duelle. I am enjoying it tremendously. I don’t…
submission away
I’ve just submitted my application for Clarion West. I feel good about it. I’m happy with the story, with my background statement, and right now, just happy in general. Wish me luck, darlings.
Kol Nidrei and the end of my Christ year
Is it naïve of me to say that this is not what I was expecting? I did not expect this last year to pass in quite this way. I feel like I didn’t accomplish nearly enough–and I haven’t–and yet that I have been stretched, both to grow–and I have–and too thin. I think that as…
really, now
I bought more art. I’m hopeless, helpless, and a little insane. Also, profligate. I didn’t mean to. (All right, let’s just ignore the fact that since I clearly got out my checkbook and wrote the damn checks, I obviously meant to.) But they were just so pretty. See, I went to the Open Studios at…
New York, in ten easy points
1. I completely fell in love with New York City. I had the same feeling of “I could live here very happily” as I did in Paris. I had a stronger feeling of that for New York than I did for San Francisco, and I’ve been in SF for over five years now. That said,…
“Almost…”
That’s the name of the painting by John Marvuglio I bought. Photographing it proved difficult. The lighting was awkward, and my skill is still limited. But here’s a pic to give you a bit of sense of the work. And another one. You can see the rest of the photos here. Seriously, the photos do…
Start from the beginning…
Hello, I’m Alberto Yáñez. I’m a writer and photographer. Welcome to my website. A lot of the content on here is from older sites of mine, but I decided that it would be a good idea to create a convenient location to gather it here. I hope you enjoy your visit.
