So I am not able to read my stories out loud in my writing classes. I wish that I could have a writing class tutor and not have to have all the other people in the class. The reasons I don't want to read my stories out loud are many and complicated and mostly just bullshit but that doesn't change the fact. So, I really hate to do this because I think that people who post fiction on blogs are kind of losers but I've been purposefully going out and finding more and more sites where people do this and I've found such a broad range of examples that I am no longer disgusted by this practice. That being said, and because I can't read my stories out loud in class, I really would like to get some feedback. I know my friends and family might feel weird about this or they might not and then I'll just not take their opinions seriously because they are my friends and family. But there are people who read this blog who aren't my friends and family. I know this because my sitemeter comes up with places like Portland Maine and Calgary and Burlingame and many many other places belonging to people I don't know (but who I secretly, or not so secretly since I was telling Angelina this same thing yesterday, wish I knew and was friends with). So if you are one of those people and you either hate my stories because they are trite and derivative and fall completely apart in the third act, I would really really really love your feedback. Be anonymous. Make up a name. Or email me at mandymurphy@gmail.com if you don't want other people reading your comments.
