MIDDLETOWN— “Desire. Ambition. Hope. Despair, lots of despair. And a grittiness to keep on with it.” That’s writer Gail Godwin’s formula for success.
Students, fans, and friends filled the Gilman Center for International Education, Room 130 of the Library at SUNY Orange-Middletown on April 6 to hear more from the successful published author.
Creative Writing Instructor Steven Shaw invited his class to the author’s master class to meet and learn from Godwin. Shaw has been discussing the writing process in his class for about 10 weeks. “I’m hoping,” Shaw said, “that they can come away with a little bit more insight into the writing process.”
