Mass All-Stars
And so concludes Day One of the Mass(achusetts) All-Stars 2-day Ad Hoc workshop, in which Our Gang convenes whenever someone gets a novel draft done, and "sits on it," subjecting it to intense peer scrutiny and analysis.
Today was Holly Black's stunning & scrumptious The Coldest Girl in Coldtown. Nothing beats talking Writing with her and Sarah Smith, Kelly Link, Cassie Clare, Josh Lewis & Delia.
In striving to express myself, I came up with two pretty useful lines which I will probably use again:
The Arc of Reader Desire
and
"Sometimes Cool Shit trumps Narrative Tension."
Whether they were useful to anyone else remains to be seen!
