Max Does a Workshop

Writing And sorry to abuse your email inbox, but I’ve just signed on with the good people at ChuckPalahniuk.net to run an online writing workshop based around novel-writing. Places are limited, so if you want in, clicky clicky:

Yes, they photoshopped me into a suit.

Ah! I would love to do the workshop, but I'll be traveling for part of that time. Good luck with the workshop Max!

I would like to as well, but unfortunately my schedule is full right now with school and work and tutoring. Why couldn't you have done it in the summer, Max?

This sounds like a stellar workshop! Now, here is where I cross my fingers and pray I can convince my parents to pay for it.

I couldn't see the picture of you photoshopped into a suit at first because it looked like one of those adverts for expensive software that less reputable sites put in the middle of their articles. My brain just wouldn't read it.

Yes, they did photoshop you... and didn't do such a hot job. But you know, in a suit, you've got a hit-man thing going... something out of a Guy Ritchie movie.... it works well.

Well, I caught my mom in a good mood. I'll be in the workshop! (If it isn't full already, that is...)

Hal 9000 is right, you do have a bit of a hitman look going for you. :)

I could make a more realistic-looking suit in mspaint. Someone obviously was in a hurry. :P

You are 47 from the Hitman games, easily. The resemblance is uncanny.

On the one hand, this would be right up my alley; I'm good at starting projects but horrible at finishing them.

On the other, I can't afford it myself and the chance of my parents paying $295 US so I can learn how to write a novel seems slim at best, I have school to worry about, and I've never done one of these before and am therefore very anxious about the potential to screw it up if I do sign up. So I'm probably not going to actually do it.

I hope it goes GREAT! I'd like to try the next one . . .

Why do you look like Dan Castellaneta's younger brother in a suit? Is there something you're not telling us?
