The weather out side is nice, well except for a few treacherous storms here and there, and it's once again time for F2K to begin. For those of you who are unfamiliar with F2K, it is a free online writing course for aspiring writers. The course is a seven week course sponsored by Writers' Village University and is staffed by writers who volunteer as Mentors. It is a great place to learn, get motivated, and network with other writers.
At last count, we had like 400 students enrolled for the April session of F2K. It looks as if this is going to be an awesome session with lots of opportunities to make new friends who aspire to write.
The course starts this Wednesday; so as a mentor, I will be spending the next few days roaming around the online halls meeting the new students and helping everyone get oriented to the site.
I always look forward to the F2K sessions because it allows me the opportunity to spend time working with others who have a passion for writing. Writing is a time consuming art, but for those who aspire to write it is time well spent.
Before I go I thought I'd share a little writing humor with you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A writer died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell.
She decided to check out each place first. As the writer descended into the fiery pits, she saw row upon row of writers chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes.
"Oh my," said the writer. "Let me see heaven now."
A few moments later, as she ascended into heaven, she saw rows of writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they, too, were whipped with thorny lashes.
"Wait a minute," said the writer. "This is just as bad as hell!"
"Oh no, it's not," replied an unseen voice. "Here, your work gets published."
