Stephen - my good friend (soft soaping beginning), can you do something for me? I want to shamelessly copy your walking workshop, so could you please send me the outline and any notes you have about it? I'm writer in residence at a centre in Australia in October, so have to tell 'em soon what workshops I propose. The one I was going to propose was an editing your own work for publication workshop - from creation to the printed page, type of thing. But it is old hat and has been done to death - and anyone with a modicum of writing experience and success could run it. I want something unique - so I want to steal yours! Ha - that's how unique I'm feeling, teaching here in this polluted hole. The writers' centre is a perfect setting: just after the secondary dunes near the Indian Ocean, set in a historic writer's house (old wooden colonial style), and - given fine weather in October - it should be an ideal creative event. Of course, I will acknowledge your inspiration and help. Can you do this? Will you do this for me?
