It's true, it is always interesting to find out how other writers go about the process - there seems to be at least as many approaches as there are writers.<br /><br />I look forward to meeting you and hope you enjoy the workshop. I've taken a quick look at your website, too. I like your style.Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-22523605429898102482011-05-10T21:55:28.204+01:002011-05-10T21:55:28.204+01:00hi dan,

It's a lovely setting and I feel very privileged to be doing my workshop there.<br /><br />With it being a workshop I'm not sure there'll be much to record. However, I'm going to put some handouts and things together, and I'm thinking it might be of interest to make these (or a version of them) available on this site.<br /><br /><br />Hi Patsy,<br /><br />Thanks! I'm really looking forward to it.<br /><br />I agree, possible markets for flash fiction seems like exactly the kind of thing people would be interested in. I've been putting together a list, and have most of the usual suspects - Every Day Fiction, FlashFictionOnline, Vestal Review, Six Sentences, etc. I'm starting to get a few competitions as well.<br /><br />I'd be so pleased to hear that somebody had taken something they'd written in the workshop and gone on to get it published or win something with it.Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-40344189004948458032011-03-04T21:50:13.216+00:002011-03-04T21:50:13.216+00:00Taking a workshop sounds very exciting - and those...Taking a workshop sounds very exciting - and those pictures of Guernsey are fantastic. I hope you have a great time.<br /><br />I imagine your delegates/students (I don't know what you'd call them) might like details of competitions and markets they can try once you've fired them up with enthusiasm, so you might like to take some details of those with you.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-57155447925306752562011-02-20T13:48:15.954+00:002011-02-20T13:48:15.954+00:00It's great that you've been asked to do th...It's great that you've been asked to do that! I don't think we can make it this year as we have a lot of other travel round the country to pay for and getting to Guernsey isn't cheap! But maybe another time as my hasband is half-Guern so we have a lot of family out there (and I still haven't been!)<br /><br />If you can record your talk or anything then let me know as I'd love to hear it :)Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183206722136871230noreply@blogger.com
