howzitgoin'...here's a couple of novel ideas, you heard 'em here first. i call them novel ideas because they're both for novels though i haven't even written a page. the first is a novel set in a coffee shop that is entirely conversation. the second is a novel that is made up entirely of half-conversations on cell-phones. i might start these out with short stories and see how it goes...the hard part is developing/describing characters, i think....ok, back to esl/efl...it's hard to concentrate with ieps closing down all over the country...however i'm going to have to...concentrate, that is. baby's still sick. still getting used to blogs, you change your template, you don't see it until you post again. if then? more later...
