You may or may not know that MIT has made a number of their lectures and course information available for free online. They have a course on writing and reading short stories. Might be useful for those looking to add something to our publication.

You can't get feedback from the professor, but you could certainly work through their exercises and post some info here for feedback!

How fabulous! Non-live courses are so handy for folks living in drastically different timezones. Way better than waking up at 3 am to attend a live course across the ocean. Ugh, that was rough.

And the fact that MIT is offering this stuff for free is fantastic!

pelwrath: For any interested, I posted in Boasting about an essay (short) being read on a pod cast. It’s about Literature and Music. Mar 18, 2023 17:29:42 GMT -6

whaleworkforfood: Congrats pel! That's great news :cheers:

RAVENEYE:

Only a couple days to go until we launch the April POETRY CONTEST! :bunny:

It has nothing to do with bunnies, I promise. Mar 28, 2023 9:52:12 GMT -6 *

ScintillaMyntan: Looking forward to it. Mar 28, 2023 11:14:21 GMT -6

Bird: first time using shoutbox on this new iteration of LF.... is there a search function on the site? i'm being lazy and want to search for a thread but not have to go through each subforum manually... lol Mar 28, 2023 17:51:37 GMT -6

Bird: i thought there was but now I'm just not seeing it lol Mar 28, 2023 17:51:59 GMT -6

ScintillaMyntan: Yeah, it's on the top bar of buttons. "Home," "Participated," "Help," Search." Mar 28, 2023 18:01:56 GMT -6

RAVENEYE: Oh, hey, look at that! We have a search function. Cool. It's kinda buried among the other menu buttons, ain't it.

Mar 29, 2023 12:40:48 GMT -6

RAVENEYE: And maybe I should get rid of Calendar. We never use it. And I can't find a way to make the calendar show up on the forum itself, with birthdays and things. :thumbdown:

Mar 29, 2023 12:41:56 GMT -6

Bird: omg, it's right there in the smack dab middle of that menu I never notice LOL Thanks all. feeling silly now Mar 29, 2023 21:07:23 GMT -6

Bird: Oh. okay. I guess we don't have a dedicated conlang discussion. All we have is the resource thread to input in conlang resources. huh. Mar 29, 2023 21:08:57 GMT -6

Bird: Also, the search tool is so robust and complicated. I really didn't need twenty fields. Just one lol Mar 29, 2023 21:09:20 GMT -6

Bird: there's a what to search set of fields, a where to search set of fields, a when to search set of fields, and a who to search set of fields. Thankfully I don't need to fill out allof them to search lol Mar 29, 2023 21:10:19 GMT -6

RAVENEYE: LOL, yeah, that's a bit overkill, methinks. :lshic:
