Reflections on My 2 Weeks Writing for The Tavern
As my 2 weeks as a guest writer at The Tavern wind down, I thought y’all might be curious to hear some of my reflections on the experience.
As James wrote, bringing 7 writers in for 2-week stints is kind of like The Hunger Games – many go in, two get the job.
That “Hunger Games” analogy seems to have stuck – many of the people I conversed with for stories over the past two weeks asked me a variation of the, “How is The Hunger Games treating you?” question.
The truth is that every interaction I’ve had with one of my fellow writers has been a combination of productive, nice, charming, and helpful.
When fellow writers finished their trials, I mostly felt sadness. Not only will I miss our conversations on The Tavern Slack channel, but I’ll also miss the energy and reporting they brought to The Tavern. This version of The Hunger Games has been a ray of sunshine to my eyes.
