I blogged about Sally Zigmond’s brilliant short story course. It’s continuing, and is fabulous and if you’re interested in writing fiction of any kind, I strongly recommend you read it and take part. You can find the first installment, How Do I Get Started?, here; the second, More About Character, here; and the third, called Story Or Plot?, here. More is to come, and I am looking forward to it very much indeed.

Well, I’m now up to date with the exercises, and I already KNOW I’m getting a short story out of it AND my brain feels exercised. Marvellous and utterly recommended
Sally’s a fabulous writer and a very thoughtful, insightful editor: and she really knows her stuff when it comes to short stories. I’m glad you’re enjoying her course, Dan, and hope you get a lot out of it.
