Podcasting and plotzing
It’s been a pretty intense year, writing-wise, since I last posted. I visited Texas A&M in Texarkana, where ENTRY LEVEL: STORIES was chosen as the All-Campus Read for 2023. I attended my first Jane Austen North America general meeting. I went to AWP in Kansas City, where I primarily just hung out with friends, people-watched, sold out my signing at the Autumn House Press booth for the second y

"Yes! Other reviewers have mentioned magical realism (or is it?,) horror (I'd say mildly,) dark and sassy? Yes. Poignant? Frequently. It's an oddball collection of stories that truly vary but have this one underlying commonality: they are so well writ"

of
Entry Level (Autumn House Press Fiction Prize):
"Entry Level was a marvel. Each short story left me reeling from the intimacy I felt for the characters and the labyrinthine circumstances in which they found themselves. Wimmer's deft writing brought me deeply into each character's world with a magic"

“Normally, you don’t think about how many times you do laps. If you do, you start to get a little dizzy, go all Camus about the futility
of the situation. Your laces on the right side start to get loose from always turning against them. Normally I switch it up, do a little fancy footwork and skate backward for a bit, but what if that messed up the youth magic? What if I sped up time instead of reversing it and my face melted off like the Nazis when they opened the Ark of the Covenant?” Wendy Wimmer |

“Sometimes Evelyn got stuck on a word, using it for everything until it started to mean nothing and everything. This week, it was “world.” Everything was the world. The world was everything. It made sense from that vantage point, but the previous week, it had been “wax,” which had the bonus quality of being both a noun and a verb. I waxed her breakfast of wax and then had the wax to give her wax when she really wanted the world. World? Whirled. Whorled. Were Eld. Was she working her way through the dictionary? It was like the language of flowers, a song heard in a different lifetime.”

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.”
