Taos Writers' Conference

By the way, I got my info packet from the Taos Writers' Conference, including the letter from the facilitator in charge of my week-long workshop. The workshop is entitled " Writing about Landscape."

The guy says that it's for novelists and short fiction writers and that we are supposed to send a sample short story to be copied and distributed to my co-workshoppers for critique.

HOLY SHIT!

I say that because I am a beginner when it comes to fiction. I thought this would be a pleasant workshop with harmless writing exercises, that teacherly types like myself could feel good about. Now, I find out that I need to write something GOOD? What the Hell?

I should have stuck with the poetry.
