Almost Literary

My Gotham writing teacher was a beautiful, stern man that ruled his classroom with an iron hand. He inspired adulation, disdane and–amongst the cute co-eds–rivalry.

What was I to do when a very charming, very talented Duke graduate came into our class–my class? Naturally, I played the skeptic. But, then she passed out ten pages of delightful prose. I had to choose–was I with her or against her? I didn’t have much choice in the matter. Her words at once pulled me onto the page and away from it–into her world.

She calls herself Almost Literary but, I think she’s just being humble…

(and yes, Stuart, back to my prose tomorrow)
