After last episode's mother of all chapters, we get a reprieve - a much shorter and  lighthearted chapter devoted to those weird genres of metafiction, deconstruction, and jazzing around (that last one we're pretty sure Gardner  made up.) While we do discuss Gardner's take, we mostly just have fun geeking out over our favorite examples of the genres. But, just when you think it's all congenial conversation, we come upon an eye-raising quote by Gardner, and once again, the knives come out.

For our exercise, Renee shifts her memoir into poetry and we discuss the results.

Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
