Lots of exercises, but supposedly he talks about craft, structure, etc. throughout. <br /><br />Also I picked up The Art of Short Fiction by John Gardner (the dude who wrote Grendel) and am revisiting it now, along with Bird by Bird by Anne Lammott (ok, Natalie Goldberg-ish, but the last half focuses on craft, might be helpful?). <br /><br />Hope this helps!Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115402345831356605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497322508801641126.post-74163675211784022502010-10-06T16:13:22.437-07:002010-10-06T16:13:22.437-07:00B,

I've got a few, and most are under 2000 words. Maybe we could help each other figure this crazy fiction sh*t out?<br /><br />Lemme know! xoxo, bBrandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115402345831356605noreply@blogger.com
