User blog:HumboldtLycanthrope/Novel Workshop with Peter Straub

Hey  guys. Pretty excited about this.

So, I'm working on a new novel, and thought I'd tell you about this novel-writing workshop I'm going to be taking in January.

It's the Borderlands Bootcamp and the instructor is famed horror writer Peter Straub of Ghost Story fame, among other huge bestsellers. I gotta go all the way to Baltimore, MD for the class. A haul and a pain in the ass, but fuck it, I get to work on my novel with Peter Straub!

It's five days long, very very intensive. Pretty exclusive, you had to apply and be accepted. I got a discount because I'm a member of the Horror Writers Association.

I just sent them the first thirty pages of my manuscript, which I would have liked more time to polish. But, that's how deadlines go.

Pretty cool, huh?

What are you guys working on right now?

Hear any good jokes?
