my breakout critique group (from left): sarah arnold, wendy wheeler, eric holden, simon lex-lear, and marc moore. sarah told a story about how at a workshop years ago, rick klaw had blogged about what an amazing writer she was for a 17yr-old. which prompted her mother to print out the damn thing. good job embarrassing people, rick.
as a special treat for the writer’s workshop, we got a lecture by james p. hogan (not the same person as paul hogan). he sounds exactly like a mobster from ‘lock, stock, and two smoking barrels’! most of the information he gave is privileged, for instance, he’s optioned the film rights for ‘inherit the stars’. but don’t tell anyone. it’s a secret.
pictured are lawrence person and stina leicht. just as soon as i can catch lawrence saying something outlandish, i’ll post it here.
