  1. Starting at the beginning

    On a recent January night, about 100 people gathered in the Tribune Tower to discuss the art of the short story and to kick off the 2013 Nelson Algren Short Story Award contest. Five Algren Award winners — David Michael Kaplan, Joe Meno, Billy Lombardo, Baird Harper and Jeremy T. Wilson — read and dissected the opening paragraphs of their award-winning pieces. The writers educated audience members about place, intent, character, setting and the tenuous balance between humor and drama. While all the authors have different writing procedures — starting with outlines or not, continuously editing a piece or setting it away for a bit — they stressed the importance of just putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). As last year's winner, Wilson, said: "The most important part of writing is just allowing yourself to wander around in the story."
