There were 28 people in the session today, but it was fun, so I’m staying in. It is too many people, but quite a few aren’t bothering to participate at all, either by writing or giving feedback. I guess they’re there for the cookies. If enough people phone it in, one my stories may get read aloud after all.
I realised today that this is less about feedback for me than it is a challenge. My next exercise will be written directly in French with proofreading by my husband. If I can get feedback, ok. It may not happen given the number of attendees. Rather than reject the session because it wasn’t what I expected, I’m rolling with it.
So the next exercise is to start a story with ‘Salut, ma vie.’ Or ‘Hello, my life.’ Based on a super short story by Grace Paley. I have a vague idea of what to do. Will get going with it tomorrow.
