Prose monkey back in the trenches!

Feb 17   |   Posted by: joe

Hey there to all you fiction writers!  Feeling unappreciated?  Me too!  That’s why I’ll again be spending significant time in the workshop focusing just on fiction.  There’s not a lot of it on there, and even less with comments.  As a fiction writer myself, I know how frustratring it is to spend days, weeks, even months working on a short story, then posting it and…nothing happens.  So, let me say now that I’ll be doing my best to make sure every short story gets at least one meaningful constructive critique.  Hopefully this will encourage all you fiction writers to get back in there, writing and posting your short stories, then re-writing and re-posting them until the cows come home. 

(And if you feel like helping me out with this admittedly thankless task, by all means, please comment away on the stories by your peers!  They love it!  And maybe then they’ll read your stuff, too!)

Beardedly yours,

Joe G

    I hope to god this includes “flash fiction” because there is no “prose poetry” genre!

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Freddy and I’ve wasted nearly a month of my life on this place ;-) I found it after being recommended by a few friends who have been hanging out here for quite some time.

    I am a writer, graphics artist, photographer and just about anything else that comes up around the office. Aside from the above interests i’m really into scifi as I know that is so much more out there to be discovered, and a feeling that the universe is just teaming with life.

    Well, I hope that I get to know more people here, share some experience and start learning. Have a greay day!
