In the fall of 2008, I taught a writing class at Gotham Writers Workshop in New York. Notoriously low-paying, Gotham still offered what a freelance writer was always grateful for: a gig. This particular course had about fifteen students, as I recall. There was a large oval conference table around which these aspiring writers sat. One of the few advantages of teaching in such a basement-priced program is that it draws all sorts of people who are looking for a quick and easy method to write. Gotham distributes its course offerings in little kiosks on what seems like every street corner in New York. Everybody knows about Gotham.
Thanks, Olivier! The very same to you and Pia? Are you in Alsace or in your house in the south? We look forward to seeing you sometime when you return. And Happy New Year!
Perfect introduction! Thank you and sorry for the delay, Florent
It's never too late to hear from you.
So great to finally get a chance to catch up on your latest stories, Rich. Joyeux noël to you and your lovely wife.

Again a small world! When I was dating my NYC architect friend his office was just a couple of doors away. He ate there daily!
What a lovely story, Richard! I miss your classes at Gotham, and this story brought nostalgia to my heart.
Poor but happy!
I always love your New York stories. You bring those colorful places and people to life so well.
Thank you, Elizabeth!
This is intriguing, Richard. More please.
What a teaser! Of course I want to know MORE!
There will be more! Coming soon to a theater near you.
More, please!
Yes. Stay tuned.
