How true. I’ll use this next time I teach creative writing. In the past I’ve used as a metaphor the sailing term “steerageway.”
By the way, Bryon, I used your story “Tree House” for my ENG102 students to analyze and critique for their final exam. It worked very well as a teaching tool and as a way for the students to exercise their use of the critical terms. The response to the story was entirely positive, usually quite personally affected. Their responses showed me beauties of that story I hadn’t noticed. It’s one of my faves.
Keep cranking the stories out. I may increase my use of them in the future. This is such a useful teaching tool for literature students that maybe I should write a paper for NCTE or something. If I do, I’ll put in a link to your blog!
