So I just read eight stories for the short story workshop next weekend.  All I have is eight more to go for a grand total of forty-two stories.  Someone added up the pages and you know how many pages we're reading?  1022 manuscript pages of short fiction!  Damn, I'm glad we don't have to critique.  We're just reading so we know what the editors are ( Read more... )

conflict, workshops, short stories

I'm halfway now. I'm thinking 5 at a time, in four chunks, and I'm done.

And remember: The first rule of workshop is we don't talk about workshop.

See you Thursday!

I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't seen Fight Club. And whenever you mention the first rule, I'm reminded I really need to see that movie! :-)

Looking forward to meeting you and I'll unfortunately be late getting in on Thursday, like around 6pm or so. See you then!
