Currently, I am preparing the lessons for my October-November class, HOW TO WRITE AWARD-WINNING SHORT STORIES THAT PEOPLE LOVE AND REMEMBER. Since I expect the class to fill up and since some people who would like to take the course live too far away, I have decided to post the lessons here, and in advance of the class.
My topics and my teaching methodologies differ distinctly from those of other instructors. And, as valuable as these lessons will be to everyone who chooses to download the information from this website, they are much richer when experienced in a classroom setting. So, I invite every interested writer, new or experienced, to take a look at these concepts as I present them.
Most of all, I wish for each of you the stimulus to write. Write for fame and fortune and write for yourself — and always understand, these two, when unadulterated, are one and the same.
Look for these lesson posts beginning next week, Monday, August 24.
Also, prepare to enjoy more of my own award-winning short stories when Prime Number Press publishes my newest collection of fiction, Under a Gibbous Moon, in early 2011. If you’ve not yet read the most recent of these, I invite you to click here or on the link at the top of this page: “Edward’s Heart” Award-Winning Short Story.
