In response to Rick Moody's proposal, in the Atlantic fiction issue, to add new questions to the writing workshop format, Rake's Progress suggests some new questions of his own:
3. What would it hurt to add a boy wizard to the narrative? Also: Is there anything about this story that the addition of a convoluted biblical conspiracy wouldn’t help?
11. Does this writer think s/he’s better than you?
12. How many characters here can you “cast” as famous actors? Is that number really high enough?
13. If this story languishes in a slush pile, is that solid evidence that the terrorists have won?
