Before you jump into Story Course, why don’t we get acquainted?
In the comments, introduce yourself, tell us where you are in the world (I’m a map nerd and want to be able to picture you on a beach with a rum drink or in front of a roaring fire while snow falls gently outside your window), and tell us how you relate to fiction—Do you write? If yes, what and where? What do you like to read?
Whatever you care to share will help make the Story Course experience richer for all of us.
Hi I’m Sallie from Phoenix. The best part of my day in the winter is reading a book while sitting in the afternoon sun. I’m not currently a writer. (Sorry, Ed, Google in its infinite wisdom put your email into a special folder- not spam!).
Hello, I'm a reader and writer. Love 19th-century English lit., murder mysteries, Emily Dickinson, for a sampling; have written fiction short and long, poetry, other forms, and started on Substack in December, writing about being the mom of a son with special needs. I'm working on a short short story and hope this Story Course will be helpful!
I'm Cathrine. I live in Phoenix, AZ. I'm writing a fantasy novel and trying to be more consistent with my writing efforts. I lead a book group where we read mostly literary fiction which often includes socially relevant topics. I love to read short stories and non-fiction, including Great Courses on audible.com.
I'll start. I'm Ed, the creator of Read Write Repeat and of Story Course. I'm in Phoenix, where it's a chilly 65 degrees today, so sweater weather. I write fiction, both short and long, as well as poetry, and with this Substack I'm also trying my hand at teaching/guiding as well as at personal essays.
I read mostly literary fiction, primarily contemporary but I'm also dipping back into classics to fill in the holes in my literary education. I try to read at least one "big" book each year, something that challenges me (and my understanding of fiction). I think that this year it will (finally) be Ulysses by James Joyce; I've started it at least three times in past years and not finished.
Let's go around the room...
