Tomorrow Check Your Necessary Fiction: You’ll Find A City There

August 31, 2010

Because I am your friendly September Writer-in-Residence there, and you’re going to want to check out this project I’m working on right from the get-go.  You’re going to see some seriously amazing writing, on topics you couldn’t possibly dream up, by some seriously amazing writers.

What are we working on? Well, I don’t want to spoil it, but we’re creating a history. A city’s history. You’ll be spending the month of September at a dig site, learning about the inhabitants of the city throughout its history, about how they’re linked across the ages through the soil and sediment and sludge, about the things they treasured and the things they left behind. By the time September is done, we’ll have built a shared history far more interesting and three-dimensional than anything you could find in your textbooks.

So head over to Necessary Fiction tomorrow for your first look at the Ancient City. That’s all I’ll say for now.
