Quotes
"Thanks Tantra. I admit I wasn't confident I could write three different stories in ten weeks, but you made it safe and fun to try. I can't tell you how much I've appreciated the opportunities to learn, experiment, and grow in this class. You've been so generous with your feedback, advice, and insights, and I've learned so much more than I ever expected. The lectures and links were terrific too, and in addition to those, I'm halfway through Borges' Labyrinths and Calvino's The Nonexistent Knight and the Cloven Viscount--amazing books!
So, once again, thank you so much for everything! It's been a wonderful experience!"
Melanie Parkinson

"Hi Tantra, I'm aware of the huge amount of effort that goes into trying to get published, and am looking forward to revving my engine in this class. Your detailed syllabus and course objectives are just what I was looking for, and one of the reasons I signed up for this particular class, with you as a teacher."
"Marvelous that you have discovered my weakness in the very first assignment!" week 1 I have already learned more with you than from the previous entire class!" week 2 "I feel that I have more such stories inside and am very grateful to you for this class, in which I have learned more specific craft than in my previous writing classes. Tantra, this class has really been wonderful! It's been better organized than the other 2 UCLA classes I took, and you have been such a kind and generous teacher. Thank you!" week 10
