Today was the last of my short story classes for the summer, we met in the Freight Depot at Hubbard Hall. Half the class is away on summer vacation, Hubbard Hall needs our classroom, so we are moving the class to Pompanuck Farms and their big Round House, we will resume in mid-August and go through Spring of next year, where we hope to publish a book and e-book of the stories written in class.

I always bring Red, this time I decided to bring Fate. She was good, although she did manage to jump on every single person – we are working on that, she started to chew up the stage and she got hold of a balled up sheet of paper (I gave it to her) and while Red sat quietly as he always does, Fate went to town on the paper. She is getting there, lots of love, lots of spirit. She is all puppy, a spitfire. She was also a big hit. She loves people dearly, all people.

This is a powerful class to work with, a joy and an honor to be teaching them. At Pompanuck, I am thinking of expanding my teaching, we could even video stream the lectures online if there was a market for it. I’ll keep you posted.
