Old Crow Speaks a Second Time
The old crow started following me, dropping ideas and crow lore off my head like I was the target of a million sea gulls around a dumpster behind a fast food restaurant. So finally I stopped crawling on the ground and looked up the crow and it said…

Find out how the world ends. It’ll take just a few minutes. (BTW, it’s free.)

Writing Hurts Like Hell
Writing Hurts Like Hell is a workshop taught by Biff Mitchell for a decade through the University of New Brunswick's College of Extended Learning. Held mostly off-campus in coffee shops, bars, studios
Writing Hurts Like Hell is a workshop taught by Biff Mitchell for a decade through the University of New Brunswick's College of Extended Learning. Held mostly off-campus in coffee shops, bars, studios, hot tubs, parks and mall food courts, the workshop focussed more on becoming a writer than learning how to right by teaching aspiring writers how to see, feel, hear, smell and taste the world the way a writer does.
The workshop also examined, mostly through discussion, topics such as how to present violence to match the story, write sex scenes that aren't pornography (unless, of course, the book is pornography), write humor and use foul language convincingly.
The workshop is currently available in print and ebook formats. Just Google Writing Hurts Like Hell by Biff Mitchell. ...more
