Each time I've attended a workshop/retreat my writing has improved by leaps and bounds. I think they're essential for a writer's development. Hopefully my little snippets of what I'm learning help you!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130733681254163610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551608342749773751.post-75127646213894412342010-02-18T16:18:58.137-08:002010-02-18T16:18:58.137-08:00That's really interesting.

It's an advanced class so we're working off of what we learned at the last class and what the lesson plan was going to be. I'm kind of proud of our group for being so motivated and focused!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130733681254163610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551608342749773751.post-63933047342744476992010-02-18T03:48:22.206-08:002010-02-18T03:48:22.206-08:00This sounds like a terrific workshop.

Nothing actually happened until chapter 2, which became clear as soon as I started sharing the novel. Chapter 2 went on to become chapter 1.Alissa Grossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16701189791875707920noreply@blogger.com
