City of Stories: post

We just got back from the City of Stories workshop, and the result? Fun fun fun! I felt like at that very moment I should have a bionic ability of speedy writing because my ideas flowed like the leaked pipe down over at our old flats! Maya was depressed at first because she thought she could not write, but upon being assigned with the topic "The person you hate the most" she finally routed her hatred through her writing (we share mutual disgust for the same person) and got a standing ovation from the class!

The next few posts will be the short stories I wrote during the assignments, see if you can see which authors influenced me the most (OK I can't resist, they are Nick Hornby, Dave Eggers, Jonathan Safran Foer & Haruki Murakami) or have a feeling of what kind of experience influenced my writing the most. Stay tuned.

(Update: The stories go here, in their very own special place in case I get the kicks to write again. We'll see.)
