Codex Writer’s Workshop.

I anticipated this event for a long time.

The first few days were for critiques of novels and short stories, as well as some class sessions on writing and being a writer. We had the famous Ellen Datlow critique our short stories. She was very insightful and gave lots of comments to everyone. We also had David Coe come for dinner one night; after which we picked his brain with questions.

The last week or so was just a retreat time where we could relax and write and explore Chattanooga, Tennessee.

I’ll post more later about what happened and what I learned.

I participated in National Novel Writing Month last year, and it was lots of fun to meet other writers and to just churn out words. I had trouble with it at first, but this year I am going to do a bit more planning up front. We’ll see how that works.]]>
