So, You Wannabe a Writer?
Joey, Mairan, all you other folk, First Things is looking for you! Well ok they don't want to give you a job or any thing, but they want you to spend ten days in Jersey to learn to write.
“The first Southwell Creative Writing Workshop will take place June 15-25, 2006, at the Carmel Retreat House in Mahwah, New Jersey—which is about an hour from the New York City and Newark, N.J., airports. Each accepted applicant will receive a Southwell Scholarship covering all costs, including room and board, except for travel expenses to and from the Retreat House.
“The purpose of the workshop is to encourage a small group of interested, post-baccalaureate Catholics (ages 21-30) to develop their talents in creative writing from a traditional Catholic point of view.”
Sounds Crazy? I agree. But it is free, and in Jersey!
On another note. If any of you care (I'm sure none of you do) I am still reading War and Peace, and I will be posting soon about what I think of the new translation.
On another note. If any of you are looking for the perfect Christmas present for me. I found it. The Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection: More than 1000 of the Greatest Classics (Paperback). Its a deal too at $7,989.50, that's $5,326.34 off the cover price. And Amazon throws in free shipping.
