Writing doesn't have to be a solitary journey. Let's connect and learn from each other. Friday, January 06, 2012. Setting - Finding the Magic Anywhere. Karen Russell, whose novel and collection of short stories continues to fascinate me, has a gift for finding the magical in the places she writes about.

Writing doesn't have to be a solitary journey. Let's connect and learn from each other. Wednesday, August 13, 2014. The Grass Harp: Writing That Takes Your Breath Away.

Bio | Brian Benson | Author of GOING SOMEWHERE
http://brianbensonwrites.com/~brianbe9/about
Over the years, I’ve built rock walls in northern Michigan and played jazz guitar in western Guatemala. I’ve edited a magazine for bohemian travelers and served egg rolls to Madisonian suburbanites. I’ve taught Spanish to five-year-olds and English to fifty-year-olds and helped people learn to fix tiny bikes for tiny children. And all of this, in its own way, has led me to writing. And is at work on his second book. He lives in Portland, Oregon. Author photo by Emilee Booher. Living the First Draft.
