I'm Bailey. 21. I'm a journalism student hailing from beautiful New Jersey. What brings me here is the Writer's Workshop. My boyfriend pointed me here - I believe he said he was active in the workshop a few years ago, and he had nothing but good things to say about this place. I am sick to death of writing hard news features for class and I really, really miss writing fiction. I'm hoping this will help get me back into the swing of it.

Oh, and I do like Chuck Palahniuk, too. Invisible Monsters is probably my favorite. Didn't care for Rant or Snuff.

I'm happy to be here and look forward to meeting you lovely people.

yeah, i miss him too. last i heard, though, he was in portland. entirely wrong coast. havent seen him about in more than a year. he got what he needed out of the workshop, put in his hard work, and moved on to spanbauer's workshop. even participated in a few workshop sessions with tom and chuck. very cool cat, living his writing adventure. all that.

.

hey, bailey

welcome to the cult and the workshop
very cool that you are a journalist. my guess is that you grammar is jedi strong. that itself is a relief, considering some of the submissions circulating among the currents.

what is your boyfriend's name? i may remember him
so may, probably, nate, kasey and mark. (we're all from year one.)

anyway.
again, welcome. my favorite is survivor; his best, i still think, is IM.

Thanks for the welcome.

It's not always perfect, but my grammar isn't awful. I do tend to be peevish about poor grammar. I can't help it. It's been drilled into me.

My boyfriend's name is Chris but he went by his pen name, Brad Foster. Maybe someone remembers him? I don't think he's been active here in at least two years.

yeah, i do remember brad. never worked intensely with him, but i do remember his alacrity. unfortunately, when the new version of the workshop went up, all of the old content was cleaned out. bermuda triangled. so, he can no longer go back and retrieve old stories. but you can make new ones.

if you have any trouble, or any concerns about reviewing, i'm sure chris can help you. if you have trouble finding something, always feel free to hit my pm and i'll either answer your question or find the answer for you.

I think I recall Brad. At the time I believe he was an alcoholic or atleast had drinking issues but I could be wrong.

Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome. He's had his demons, but he's been off the sauce for some time now and doing well.
