I Am Taking an Online Short Story Class
because I want to see how
Someone Else An Expert teaches
how to write a story. A class I've taught for years.
Class started with a joke an example of structure but
the joke wasn't funny. Proust,
Hemingway and Kafka were there because this is a writing class
the punchline wasn't actually a punchline but maybe
I'll start the next class I teach with Mel Brooks
or my mother's favorite joke and maybe I'll actually
write a new story because of the Expert and the Online Story Class.
