On interior monologues, the devil we don’t know, the future of fiction, and the rage of the literary man

Here are some lit-related items that caught my eye in recent weeks:

Do you hear an internal monologue?
The rage of the literary man. “He’s certainly publishing less, but he’s louder and angrier than ever.”
The Devil You Don’t Know. Noir writers know evil is real. What about the rest of us?
The future of fiction. Will all tomorrow’s novels be serialized on Substack?

Introducing LitLinks (blog feature and AI-generated podcast)

Thanks to the wonders of AI and an idea from Ashley Budd, I am entering the world of podcasting with a new feature I’m calling LitLinks.

LitLinks is an occasional compilation of literary- and writing-related content posted right here on the blog and also fed into Google’s NotebookLM AI research assistant to create an audio summary of all those links. That way, if you don’t have the time to read all those great links, you can listen to the podcast-style presentation while driving, jogging, doing the dishes, or avoiding your daily chores.

(Off topic) I’m featured in ‘Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO’ podcast

This post has nothing to do with the writing life, but I wanted to share that Jaime Hunt, host of a wonderful podcast called Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO, interviewed me for her podcast about a month ago, and that episode goes live today. The focus is on my nearly 33-year career in higher education, all with Missouri University of Science and Technology. I had a great time talking with Jaime about my career and the many changes we’ve seen in higher ed marketing and communication over the past three decades.

If you’re interested, check out the episode, From PR writer to CMO: A Lifetime of Marketing in Higher Education, and consider subscribing to Jaime’s podcast or any of the other great shows in the Enrollify Podcast Network.
