![]() So there is this thing called Marxist-feminism. Yeah - that's how crazy literary criticism can be. It all started with that guy Aristotle that all of you hear about all the time, but never know who he really was. He was Greek.

Craig reads his poem from the 2013 edition of the Penguin Review, "Pilgrimage."
![]() Colleen Clayton, YA author of What Happens Next, comments on our Facebook page. (We are honored!) "There is a term amongst writers called "writing the book of my heart." A particular story, poem, novel etc. that means more to you than all the others you've written. Your favorite "child" so to speak. Have you written the book or story of your heart yet? As a reader, what is the book of your heart? The one book that you've gone back to many times, that means the most to you as a reader." Check out Colleen's author site. Craig talks about being able to critique works by people he admires, such as Chris Barzak, one of our wonderful English professors at YSU.

Learning humility! ![]() The crew discusses what makes good fiction, tips about how to improve your stories, and what good characterization is? Colleen Clayton asks Craig on Facebook: Which part of writing a story do you find most daunting? Which part is the most satisfying? He responds by saying the overall picture is the most daunting to work with and starting on the first blank page with nothing. He says the most satisfying is when another reader says, "You know, I get this." It gives him the ability to know that he has direction in his writing. ![]() Visit the new writer's blog, Iron City Lit, where no discussion is off limits. The crew is discussing one such article, The Attack on YA. |
