Saturday was departure day for most of us. One group left *way* early in the morning to catch early flights, while the other group left mid-morning, once Rob returned from dropping off the early group. I was in the second group–the others in my group were driving back to their homes, so they hopped into [...]

Although all the preceding days of the workshop were great, today was a day of big events.
It was our last workshop, and I think everyone submitted some of their best work so far. Besides workshopping everyone’s manuscripts, we also had a lively discussion about publishing, discussing the current state of the industry, the outlook for [...]

As I mentioned in the last post, most of us spent yesterday taking a break to explore the island. Well, today saw us return to form as we dove back into our writing. The lecture part of the day focused on how to handle verb tense changes (e.g., narrative present versus the present tense of [...]

So in my last post I mentioned what a great group we had at the workshop. Everyone took the assignments seriously and strove to write at their best for their fellow attendees.
In fact, everyone was so serious that Tom had to call a timeout. Folks were working really hard–staying up late, even working past midnight [...]

The weather today was not so rainy, so we met for lecture (after a hasty breakfast + last minute reading of everyone’s manuscripts + sneaking in a shower) in West Camp, which is also the home of the island owner.
Here’s a pic of the beautiful porch at West Camp–lots of space if you want to [...]

For our first full day on the island (for most of us), we were welcomed to Maine with a day of rain, and were welcomed to living off-the-grid when Internet for the island went down.
In this pic you can see how an off-the-grid island gets its power–a windmill. You can also see the mist and [...]

It turned out that several workshop attendees were arriving to Bangor International Airport at around the same time, so once everyone had collected the baggage, we all jumped into Rob’s van (the island caretaker, who came to pick us up) to head to Jonesport to then take the boat to the island.
Of course, since [...]

What’s it like going to a writers workshop? Are these things worth the expense, time, and effort? What’s it like traveling by boat to a tiny uninhabited, off-the-grid island, to be secluded with ten other attendees off the coast of Maine for a week? Will this end up like Lost or Survivor?
Tune in to [...]

So here’s a quick test to see how easy it is to blog using the iPad.
As an example, this blog post was written using the iPad and the WordPress app for the iPad.
The WordPress app allows for basic text entry, the addition of images, templates for posts and pages, and previews. One thing I am [...]

My story, “A Healing Place,” is out in the April 2010 edition of The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature.
You didn’t know I was Southern? Well, I guess my Southern Legitimacy Statement proves it.
By the way, the April edition of The Dead Mule has one of their biggest fiction issues ever, along with their poetry, [...]
