Just back from a trip: to Austin, Texas,
and a reading at the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas. And
a wonderful couple of hours speaking with the Michener Fellows, fiction writers, poets, screen writers, about the art and craft of narrative.
And then on to Ogden, Utah, where I gave a three-day master class to an undergraduate writing workshop at Weber State University.
Some interesting first drafts, which I hope the writers will revise.
And stayed in Ogden for several days of the National Undergraduate Literature Conference, with readings by Michael Ondaatje, Ana Castillo, David Lee, Terry Tempest Williams, and yours truly. And some fascinating Q&A. The group of more than a hundred undergraduate fiction writers and literature students from all around the country made up a terrific audience and their questions stood tall.
And after a trip in which I found myself too busy to blog--home again!
