Here’s what I brought to my first workshop at Stony Brook:
- my lunch–a ham on hard roll, honey mustard
- notebook with short stories to be discussed
- directions to the building
- my train tickets
Here’s what I left with:
- a feeling that my head might explode (in a good way)
- great respect for my instructor, Roger Rosenblatt
- gratefulness to be in this class
- a sense of awe around my craft and how much I don’t know
- a new inspiration to get down to hard work
