Taking donations to participate in Christa Faust's workshop. LOL! I LOVE her work. I would kill to be in that workshop.
Just had to put that out there. Love ya, Ms. Faust. I hope one day you'll come back and do another workshop when I can afford it.

Sure, why not, here's a million dollars.
And one cent from me. Now you have a penny for a thought. lol
The sad thing is I had this spend bug and I bought a The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum. These are the details. I just had to buy it.
THIS OCP SPECIAL EDITION IS LIMITED TO 500 SIGNED, NUMBERED AND SLIPCASED COPIES. THIS IS NO. 260 PEOPLE SIGNING THE BOOK ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE ARE JACK KETCHUM, STEPHEN KING, CHRISTOPHER GOLDEN, LUCY TAYLOR, EDWARD LEE, PHILLIP NUTMAN, STANLEY WIATER AND NEAL McPHEETERS.
I wish you luck. That looks like a really fun class. Actually all three of the ladies classes right now look hot.
I'm really considering shelling out the money for this one.
Has anyone taken SGJ's class? I'm thinking of saving my pennies for that one.
I'm in Suzy's class now and it is really jarring. It definitely is making me get out of my comfort zone and start working on how my openings work with the rest of the story and how to get them to blow you away and then set the hook for the rest. Kind of daunting really.
I'm waiting for Will Christopher Baer to come out of retirement.
@Jacks - I took SGJ's class in 2006-ish; it was revelatory, and is probably the reason I am still involved in this workshop community. He is an excellent and maddeningly prolific writer who also loves teaching, a rare combination of qualities. His class is also the only reason I remember that commas come before direct address.
@Danny - people have been waiting for that since they started doing these classes.
SGJs class was awesome. @R.Moon, why don't you start a Kickstarter? you might actually be able to do it.
A new way to fund and follow creativity.
sure, tuition.
or, declare that you'll write "X" stories in your time (4 weeks, 4 stories?)
hell, i've seen people ask for gas money for a book tour, so go for it.
We should start a kickstarter fund to bring Baer out of retirement:..I'm thinking 20K.
I'd pay that.
was less creeped out by alien's line about wanting your first born than I was about the following sentence: I wants me a little girl.
But you would give up your son to a complete stranger, weirdo. Haha
Do as the Romans did.
Knuckle babies mwahahaha. As awesome as the word TWAT.
Hey wheres Mark Vanderpool at? Haven't seen him around these parts in a while.
No, those sentences aren't connected.
You would mail me your sperm for money? How about dirty underwear?
Danny, did you get my author picture?
Seriously?
This is the conversation?
Yes, I got your pic and bio, Dakota. Thank you.
you have my stuff, right Alien?
you....have my stuff too, right?
Yes and yes. Thank you.
I love emailing pictures of myself to men I've never met.
What about mine Alien?
You aren't in the anthology but if you were, I wouldn't put that pic.
You wouldn't???
no, he looks better with the Delorean! lol
I think that one looks more author-ish.
I feel exlcuded :(.
Well, technically, you are. But I'm sure Danny would you more pictures of you!!
Yes, fanny packs are always more professional lol
Panda, don't feel bad, you can be in the next anthology.....in 2013.
Oh...that gave me the giggles.
So kind Avery.
Yeah, that's far from now. We should do a sci-fi antho.
Erotic sci-fi....Rayguns and Strap-ons.
A strap-on that shoots lasers out of it. Cock blasts!
Pew pew pew ptoo ptoo ptoo
