| a literature background as I would have liked. And there is a difference between studying books in a classroom and reading them on your own. The creative writing workshops were interesting. They toughen you up, if nothing else. I don't know how useful they are, in that the critiques didn't change me as a writer. But the encouragement by certain professors was great. I'm still very close with Mark Mirsky, the editor at Fiction magazine. He's published me twice, and we've known each other for 18 years and it's nice to have such relationships with other writers. But the workshops--they're kinda funny. You realize you've got your haters and your lovers and I have that with my story collection and obviously with my novel. I tend to write in a very polarizing way, and I figured that out in grad school. It definitely toughens you up to have people hate your work to your face. And I think you have to be tough.Between the short fiction, the story collections, and the novel,jimmy choo sale, you started Sententia Books, an independent |
