Searching for Peace: The Strange Adventures of Biff and the Fox
I started posting the Searching for Peace blogs in December 2014 and into March 2015. All two people who read my blog were astounded by the sheer absurdity of the posts and read them only so they could laugh at me. But that’s OK, I laugh at myself and the blog posts gave three people a reason to laugh.
By the time March rolled around Biff and the Fox still hadn’t found peace, though they’d almost come close somewhere in their minds. So, this is an unfinished story, serialized over several months. Boy…my two readers were pissed.
They said, unison, “We hate you, Biff, for doing this. There’s no ending. Where’s the ending? It’s like losing power just before the end of a mystery movie or missing the last five minutes of a Leafs game when they’re up 5 points and still manage to lose. We want to see how they do that. We want to see how Biff and the Fox either find peace or don’t find peace. Where’s the ending, Biff, where?”
All I can think of is this: Successful or not, if the search for peace ever ends, we’re screwed.

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
