Stories Workshopped
Comment by James R.Cain
Clarion 2004 had to be one of the hardest but most worthwhile 6 weeks of my writing life. The following tales were workshopped by the group, and by workshopped, I mean the stories were presented and commented upon by all those present. The aim of this process was for the author to obtain a diversity of opinion, and hopefully build the story into a stronger tale. Some of the tales have yet to be published, and this may be simply because the author hasn't gotten around to it, doesn't want to publish it, or is leaving the story to lie fallow until they feel ready to bring it out to its full potential. It comes as no surprise also, in a publishing world where the higher end market take up to 12 months to give a reply on a submitted piece, that a tale may simply take years to place. In short, the fact a story is unpublished has no reflection on the quality of the piece.
