Write a Little, Wrangle a Little
By Dana Green, 5-24-06
Talk about inspiring locations for that summer writing course you've been meaning to take: A Columbia writing professor is hosting a weeklong fiction writing workshop on a cattle ranch in the Tetons this July.
In between selected readings from Proulx and Stegner, aspiring writers can learn to make cowboy coffee, lasso a stray calf, tell a campfire story, and build fence (if the ranchers are smart, they'll have those black-turtlenecked New York intellectuals building a WHOLE lotta fence).
You might have to sell your first-born to pay for it, but isn't it worth it? Although it would be hard to explain why you're saddle sore after a week in fiction writing class.
