A Place That Writes About Places to Write

Authorsatwork.ca is a site where writers (presumably) can suggest spots they find conducive to getting things down on paper (or hard drive). It’s currently very Ontario-centric, but you can add a spot in whatever town you hail from and let the dinner/scribe bell be rung.



Bad Politics, Worse Prose

Escape to Hell is billed as a collection of short stories and essays, but most readers have found it lacking even the basic ingredients of plot or content. One of the most bizarre stories is called “The Astronaut’s Suicide.” It tells the story of an astronaut who returns to Earth from a long stay in space, finds he can’t adjust to normal life, and kills himself. It’s meant to be a children’s book.
