I am shamed, truly shamed. I have no excuse except sheer laziness. Please forgive me — I will never again make the mistake of choosing one Goldberg over another. I have learned my lesson.

And a close reader of other blogs — namely mine — would have noted that I wrote about this, like, a week before it was in the LA Times. I’m totally Lois Lane over here. But no. You’re over on that other blog in the Goldberg household, no time for literary scoops elsewhere…

Yes, they say it’s a return to the roots of the publication, but I’m told to go back in time. I need, demand, stability.

Also longer word counts.

Well, you probably don’t remember this (and I’m too lazy to verify), but it seems to me that the Sunday mag was called “West” back in the 70s. If you ignore the 30 years in between, and however many other incarnations there may have been, you could see this as more a return to the paper’s roots than a sign of instability. I’m more worried that the fiction (fiction?) they’re looking to run must be 2500 words or less AND capture the spirit of California. Sigh.
