That Looks Like A Story

They say that every picture is worth a thousand words, and lately, that's the path my writing has been taking. I see a photo, I get an idea for a story, and I work like the dickens to write it down. My short stories tend toward the scifi, fantasy, and supernatural genres. Tell me what you think of my stories—good, bad, or indifferent—I like to be critiqued.

A New Ed2Go Class Begins...The BNU Class Disappoints

Today is the first day of the new Ed2Go class -- Writeriffic. The first lesson was kind of a "what to expect" and "how to work" lecture and there was no specific writing assignment other than to introduce yourself and let everyone know what you expect to get out of the class. I'm looking forward to the class and seeing what I'm able to learn from it.

The Barnes & Nobel class has become something of a let down. Because there are so many people in the class, the instructor has a policy of not offering individualized comments on our stories and writing assignments. For me, this really makes the class a waste of time. How can I improve if the instructor is not going to tell me, personally, what I am doing right or wrong? I don’t have much interest in that class any more even though I think it helped me get two sections of a good story down on paper. Perhaps the new Ed2Go class will help me develop that story more.

I'm sorry that you were disappointed in your B&N class. I really did love the story that you started. I hope you will try to continue it.
