Writing 12: Three copies of the story due tomorrow.

You must have printed them before you arrive.

Thanks.
Thursday: Workshop
Friday: Bill Gaston will be here. Braeden and Brittany presented his works. We also read his story called "Under the Influence".

Please prepare questions so that you can ensure this presentation will benefit your writing.

Bill teaches fiction at the University of Victoria. For more information, google Bill Gaston. He is one of Canada's foremost novelists and short story writers and he has published poetry. His wife is the writer, Dede Gaston. We have her books in the library. I recommend her novel, Sympathy. Amazing. Dede used to be a professional ballerina and the protagonist is a dancer. His daughter is a writer. One son is a writer/artist/film maker. (Remember the film Shannon and Gillian talked about when they were here? That was Bill's son). He has four children in all.

Monday: Submit your story for marks.

Next week? The post card story. Here's a preview:
