Friday Find: First Lines
Thanks to Lori Bloomfield for writing in and telling me about her new project, First Lines, a site where each week Lori posts a first line that she hopes will inspire others to write a short story. Check it out the next time you need a little inspiration.
Erika Dreifus lives and writes in New York City. Her story collection, Quiet Americans, will be published in January 2011 by Last Light Studio Books. Erika is a contributing editor for The Writer magazine and an advisory board member forJ Journal: New Writing on Justice, and she wrote the section on "Choosing a Low-Residency MFA Program in Creative Writing" for the second edition of Tom Kealey's Creative Writing MFA Handbook (Continuum, 2008). Erika's writing practice encompasses fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. For more about Erika's writing, please visit her website.
Erika is also the editor/publisher of The Practicing Writer, a free (and popular) e-newsletter featuring advice, opportunities, and resources on the craft and business of writing for fictionists, poets, and writers of creative nonfiction.

When I go to the link I get a message that says the blog doesn't exist.
Apologies for the problem with the link. I think I've fixed the problem now.
