I've never written before but was hoping, and expecting, that one day I'd carve out a weekend and just bang out a hit novel. Is that not going to happen? If not, I thank God there are people that are willing to put in the work. This writing thing seems like a lot of hard work.

You should promote it in your rejection letters. I will pass the site along to members of a writing group I facilitate. I do wish there was a week-long program closer to where I live. Requirements of job and life make it harder for me to spend even a week away, but might be able to if it were closer to Tennessee. Also, I thought there was a week-long program at the University of Kansas, started by James Gunn, I believe. Do you have any information on that. Again, thanks.
