I don't like this new art teacher in your story. An art teacher is supposed to encourage everyone to do art, not send students away with his acidic comments. Argh! What a terrible teacher.
What a powerful short story -- and this is only the first part! Can't wait to read Part 2! Characters are deftly brought to life as is the conflict-ridden circumstances (internal and external). Really lovely. Nice to know also about the new Reedsy contest. Happy 2025!
Hi, Lee! I enjoyed reading the first part of your story. Mr. Cigam is just the kind of teacher I'd love! My father was an unconventional teacher too. Wishing you all the best with the Reedsy contest.
Ready to read entries next week.
Looks like an interesting contest. Sadly, I'm not writing anything at the moment.

An intriguing part one.
Happy Writing New Year.

I love getting these little story snippets in my mail. That is the nice thing about substack--getting posts via email option.
Glad to hear you got some great reviews!
Thanks, Loni. Here’s to another year of writing for both of us.
Sounds like the contest is getting a lot of entries!
Yes. I'm interested in reading them.
