    I spent a brief while at your bootcamp. I just wanted to say thanks. I'm a bit frantic with a new business at the moment, so time is a problem, and also - after three stories - I don't think flash is for me.

    It also sounds like all of you are experienced "flashers" so you've got a style and way of writing that doesn't seem to fit with mine. But it was really great, and if I has only a bit more time and emotional energy I'd remain and learn a whole new way of writing.

    I'd forgotten what fun it is to just let my creative mind run for an hour a day.

    cheers

    Thanks. But no, we are not all experienced "flashers". Flashing is a way of breaking new ground, looking at things differently, creating a number of story kernels, accessing different parts etc. Second, it's as much for the "Blast", a month of over-production to show each other just what is possible. Glad you enjoyed it. Alex

um, writing? Helping beginning writers achive publications that are worthwhile. This means steering them AWAY from 'showcases' another name for vanity publishing, almost always linked to a helpful print house who would just LOVE to publish a collection
