Actors Jenna and Bodhi Elfman have named their newborn son, Story.
Hopefully there’s more to it than a love of M. Night Shyamalan and his bedtime tales. Here’s to all those parents out there who aren’t afraid to bestow upon their children names filled with lyricism and personal meaning. Oooh, I wonder if he has a middle name and what that might be.
Congratulations new mommy and daddy and welcome to the world, little Story.
Ahoy, writerly folks. It’s that time of year again: Time to support your species and purchase the fine, fine fiction issue published annually by the Atlantic Monthly. Don’t be halted by the nagging awareness that The Atlantic may not ever publish your work unless you change your name to Updike. Instead, think rosy thoughts like this one: While the fiction ship sinks in these times of waning literary interest, the editors at The Atlantic are waving their fiction flags high!
Had enough nautical metaphor? Good. Now go buy the darned thing.

And while you’re at it, read about the top MFA programs in the country of which my alma mater, Antioch University Los Angeles, is one.
