Great site you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get opinions from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Kudos!

I was late finishing the stories, and failed to vote, dang it. So many good pieces, I think I would have picked “The Gift of Tongues“ by Annalise Lemmon and “Last Tuesday” by William Morris at the top of my list. My speculative fiction bias, perhaps.

There’s a Mormon Lit group headed by Scott Hales that meets monthly in Provo. Anyone can attend–or skype in. This month it’s on the 21st, and they’ve invited any of the finalists/semi-finalists from the Mormon Lit Blitz to read their pieces. I’m going to mention the event in the blog post tomorrow that announces the results, but if you want more info/contact info for those leading it, send an email to everydaymormonwriter@gmail.com and I’ll send you more information.

What/when is the Mormon literature group at Pioneer Book?

Maybe I’m reading into it, but it seems to me that “Rumors of War” suggests some painful things between doing one’s duty as a soldier and doing one’s duty as a Latter-day Saint. How do you hold onto love of others when those others are shooting at you and it is your job to shoot at them? How can the enemy’s homeland also be holy?

I like “Ghost” for its language and imagery, even though it’s less distinctly Mormon than most of the other pieces.

I really like “From the East,” partly for all that it suggests remains the same in human nature and even culture regardless of time and change. (I didn’t get the context until “swing from stirrup to saddle” line.)

“The Gift of Tongues” made me smile twice: once when I realized what gift she had, the second time at the end. Nice.

The “Back Row”, really makes sense. Once I was in tithing settlement and made a comment about a another family who seemed, “perfect” to me and themselves. The bishop stopped me and commented that they had issues too. It made me realize that everyone else had some baggage they are carrying and you don’t realize what’s inside. Thanks for sharing your “carry on”

“Fresh Courage Take”. Perhaps someday we all will have to reverse step and head “east” again. Without any certainty of what conditions might await us when we get there. And the trip promising many different threats and dangers along the way. The irony of it all! Loved the story.
