You asked for a posting so here is what I put together based upon the first weeks exercise.

Did I really want to see him again?
To look into his eyes, my lover, my friend.
Or was this meeting a path to nowhere?
A chance encounter with someone I wanted to care.
Could it lead him to feel what I felt?
Or was I just kidding myself?

I Need My Space

In this week’s reading, King suggests this about a writing atmosphere: “It really needs only one thing: a door which you are willing to shut.”

Thousands of Starbucks writers would disagree, but what’s your take? Do you need solitude, four sturdy, soundproof walls and a door with a deadbolt? Or can you write on a city bus, or in a crowded restaurant, or at a construction site?

Tell us about your space.

This blog will serve as our connection between workshop meetings. We’ll post updates, reminders, flashes of inspiration, etc., and host friendly discussions on all things writerly. Share your thoughts. Voice your comments. Pose your questions. It’s your forum, use your imagination.

The “Your Work” section of this blog will be a literary journal of sorts. Here we will publish writing you’ve created in the workshop, from exercises to samples from your longer work. Brag to your family. Tell all your friends. Pass the link along to that co-worker who cannot write a simple email without multiple errors in grammar and structure.

If our recent weather has been any indication, it’s going to be a long, chilly winter. Let’s fill our Tuesday nights with warm company, heated (in a friendly way) discussion, and some white-hot writing.

Welcome to WriteByNight’s Winter Session.

Fringe Magazine has just published a short story written by our very own Justine Tal Goldberg. A short, short, short story. Enjoy.

Also, the folks over at Gently Read have published my review of Tom Bradley’s Even the dog won’t touch me, which can be lauded over and enjoyed here.

Finally, make sure to catch my wrapup of 2009 literature at ChamberFour.
