Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To complete a collection of stories. To present them to editors and publishers. To read selections at public venues. To conduct workshops for others interested in doing such work. My first three collections of stories have been published and have won prizes. I will submit this new work for publication and response. I will survey attendees at readers and workshops.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The results were uniformly very positive: a collection of stories well on its way towards being polished enough to submit for publication or read to audiences; and feedback from workshop participants.
