Wind River
Since its inception, the F&SF Writer’s Workshop has met somewhere near the home of Third Life Books in Second Life. Now, the fine folks at Third Life have sold off their land, moved onto their own island getaway, and rebranded themselves.
We are excited that our own workshop is making the jump with them and will, starting tonight, be meeting in our very own building in the Wind River Territory of Second Life!
I hope that this is just the first step in expanding our own brand, attracting new members and diversifying our offerings both in Second Life and out.
Hint Fiction, short and sweet
A few weeks ago, Mike Stackpole sent along a link to a new anthology that was being put together by Robert Swartwood for Hint Fiction. He challenged the writers in our group to see how many of us could make our way into the book. And who am I to turn down a challenge?
Hint Fiction is a story that is 25 words or less that “hints” at a far greater story than what is written in words. This forces the reader to become a part of the story by “filling in the blanks.” It’s not as easy as it seems at first, but it is very fun to write!
I’m sending in three submissions for the anthology, and I recommend to anyone who is interested, to do the same. I recommend reading last year’s winners and the background information offered on the page before you write, however, to make sure you understand the concepts involved.
