Hey New Friends,

How did I stumbled across this site?? Luckily... AnywayI am in writer's workshop here in Denver. I am having trouble with this story and don't know how to add dialogue seeing as my character isn't social or exactly too lovable (I don't even like him). maybe you disagreeBut I do think the story is worth pursuing...Theme Social COnformity and liberation. Can't seem to figue out where and how to liberate this guy...I thought send him to Maui...but it can't be so rapid. Will you read??

We will read.  But you have to join the site.  That's kinda the thing here.  The forum is for hanging out, the workshop is for reading and critiquing stories.  It's not too spendy to join, and you get access to a bunch of great essays by Palahniuk and Clevenger and a shit-ton of other writers/editors.  

And your first story submission to the workshop comes with your membership.

Spelling, grammar, sentences.

Oh, and an unsafe file that looks suspiciously like an email from a Nigerian general. Or maybe I'm judging too harshly.

Your story is OK; raw, but you have something to say. Join the workshop, post it there, and for the love of Christ control your shift key when posting.
