Can we talk about the prof who red-penned my flash fiction in 2011 and changed how I write prompts?
Back in a workshop at Ohio University, a professor named Dr. Reyes wrote "you're telling me the ending before I care" in the margin of my 800 word story, and it stung for a week. So I started writing prompts that hide the point, like "a character finds a letter they weren't meant to read" instead of spelling out the twist up front. My writers group in Columbus meets twice a month and the prompts get way more varied answers now. What's the meanest margin note that ended up helping your prompt writing?
