davidlevineNo writing per se today. But I did put the story that was rejected by
Cricket back in the mail, prepared the Carpet story for submission
(but didn't send it, I want to take one more look at it before I seal
the envelope), and got all the manuscripts for the Potlatch writers'
workshop copied and mailed -- that last was a pretty serious chunk of
paperwork. I also got money from the money machine, groceries from the
automatic cash register, and postage from the automatic postal scale
and postage dispenser... didn't interact with a single human being
all evening.
Going over those manuscripts was kind of a weird experience, each one with its earnest cover letter: "Dear Mr. Levine, please find enclosed my application for the Potlatch writers' workshop..." Jeez. I'm just a fan who got lucky, you know?
By the way, we could still use one more pro for the workshop. If you are a pro writer or editor (and I have an exceedingly loose definition of "pro"), and if you're coming to Potlatch, and if you'd be willing to crit 5 manuscripts (the workshop is 4-7pm on Friday), drop me a note.
