![]() ![]() It was hard, and I had slowed down to doing all the way to, you know, two short stories a year, where I think I wrote the first two that I sold in the space of, overnight type of thing. Because I was rewriting everything into, you know, just nothingness. Didn’t even get a personal rejection on anything. And for seven years, I didn’t sell a thing. And then I got into all of the really stupid, stupid rewriting myths and, you have to write slow. And at that point, I’m thinking, well, you know, maybe I should learn how to be a writer. And I wrote another one and mailed it off, and it sold. And I wrote one, mailed it off, and it sold. And since I was selling poetry, I thought, well, I should try a short story. I never wanted to be a writer, hated to write anything, hated to write essays or anything. ![]() I’d been writing a lot of poetry and selling it, which was surprising me, I had no idea. But no, no, yeah, it was back in the 70s, 1974. Yeah, I could mess with you and say I don’t remember. Can we go way back to those days? It was only a decade or two ago, right? And it was the very first story you sold. Yeah, but I’m getting ahead of myself, because what I want to do for anyone who’s not familiar with you is to take them back to the very early days and when you first got into writing, because there was a story you had shared with me that I found absolutely fascinating. I guess the last time we were just hanging out in person together, at one of the workshops that you guys teach in Vegas. It’s great to have you, to hang out with you. And I have someone else with three names, but he’s way cooler than me. This is Mark Leslie Lefebvre from Draft2Digital. ![]() Hello, and welcome to Draft2Digital Spotlight.
