Heard a good story lately? How bout writing one? We are a blog devoted to good writing of fiction, non-fiction and poetry . We will post prompts and want everyone to write a short short story of about 100-500 words and put it up. We will all discuss and have fun. We will also review books and discuss them. Please no personal attacks.

Redraft
Writers dread it but it is a fact of life. Yes I am talking about redrafting your story. You have that great idea, you find your facts, you mold and create your story, you send it to the editor, and they reject it. Oh what to do?? Well you have to decide; do you give up or try to save the story. If you are totally convinced the story is great you may want to resubmit somewhere else, and many authors do. There are many tales of authors who received multiple rejection slips to finally have the story accepted. There are also many tales of rewrite after rewrite until the story is a brilliant and polished cut gem. With practice we authors learn whether we need to keep polishing the stone or if it is perfect and we just need to find a new buyer. NEWS ALERT this blog is like that story. I am busy polishing it trying to create a gem worthy of wonder. I love literature of all kinds and especially enjoy seeing new works. Well with your help we will polish this stone of a blog and create a gem.
