Who wants to aim for some tough targets? A piece a day (minimum)
42 pieces in the 42 days?

It's not tough. It's just a case of ATTITUDE

His characters are 'naked', utterly revealed.

This is Haz. My last post seemed to take ages so I'm trying again.

AK offered to let me come and roam around like a buffalo (I am the size of a small one at the moment)...

Would you unlock the rest of BC for me AK, I promise not to stampede.

Some of you will know the village a little so might comment on it here
and Caroline has been in the Chapel when it was almost finished.

Her boys LOVED the bar-billiards!

Anyone know how I post pictures here?

And of course, a course...

The Forum "Short-Story of the Week" is now called "Works of the Week"

It is inside BC at the moment but will eventually be BCFREE and BCSTD

It will contain

A Story
A Short-Short
A Flash
A Poet's work (un-named)

and hopefully, a few openings to crit.

Boot Camp has a decade of craft threads, for example, hundreds of thousands of words on writing,

Jed, you shouldn't feel guilty about Cheesepuff's leaving for goodness sake.
He left of his own free will. I only shut the door behind him.


Yes, and denied me access to my own work. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Snowball136) http://bootcampkeegan.yuku.com/topic/11348 Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:32:52 GMT <![CDATA[ HANDS ON BALLISTICS 6TH JANUARY ]]> http://bootcampkeegan.yuku.com/topic/11333/t/HANDS-ON-BALLISTICS-6TH-JANUARY.html I don't get my hands on the book in any volume until January 6th

I've just been here since the middle of the month, and in taht time have written more stories and embryo stories than I had all year. I've learned a lot, and am ready to do some serious submitting of work for publication.

My problem is, I don't really know where to start. I know about Smokelong, and Brevity, but where else is there to publish short/flash fiction? How do you all find markets? What are the categories/advantages etc?

I've been meaning to tell you that I eventually got round to listening to Tom Waits (remember that course, all those years ago ... the hangover?)

Thank you, cos I'm totally hooked, and play him all time while I'm working, the early stuff - Tom Traubert's Blues, Ruby's Arms, Grapefruit Moon, the humour of Step Right Up.

I haven't got into his barking phase... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Alexandra Fox) http://bootcampkeegan.yuku.com/topic/10881 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:35:42 GMT
