Writing goals ------------- I want to embed a copy of myself into the reader's brain. I'm writing a fictional story based in my own life experience cofounding a company and then leaving it. I want the reader to feel how I felt. I want them to understand my choices, especially when they disagree with them. My ideal audience ----------------- They want to get to know me. They can hold off on judgement while they read my murky descent into venture capital funded software startup depravity. My favorite authors ------------------- * Thomas Hardy * Charles Bukowski * Robert Heinlein * all the amazing genius weirdos all over the internet Goal for this workshop ---------------------- Make friends with other writers and encourage each other to finish our stories.
