Online Summer Camp

Nate wrote:The moderators frequently run workshops, and we've done "writing courses" (in quotes because course isn't the right word... I just can't think of a better word to describe it) before. However, I was thinking of doing something much larger than that for this summer.

What I'd like to do is an online writing camp. Obviously, not anything intensive (it is online after all), but rather something that interested people could do in their free time. But, I'm admittedly not sure what it'd entail.

YWS Cassini

Nate had just hinted in his April Fools 2013 post the next update after Apollo, YWS Cassini!

Nate wrote:The last prank was YWS: Buran, named after the failed Soviet space shuttle program. As a quick note, the sequel to YWS: Apollo would be called YWS: Cassini and would be a feature update only.

Literary Spotlight

Today's piece is a short story with wonderful description, Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me by gsspcrocks. This short drabble shows us the meaning that the author (and all of us) attach to very small things, and the layers and layers of meaning that the simplest of gestures can have.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that life's going to launch you into something great, so just focus and keep aiming.
