Hi Everyone!
I am writing from the Himelaya Institute in Honesdale, PA, on a break from the Highlights Whole Novel Workshop. I am lucky enough to be working as a TA under Tim Wynne-Jones and Carolyn Coman. Tami Brown and Zu Vincent are here as well, along with some GREAT writers.
It has already been VERY intense.
I am running the workshop.
It is a huge responsibility. It is so easy to let a group get out of control, and when you are stuck in a cabin with no computer and no phone, you really need SUPPORT. So we are giving out the LOVE as well as the suggestions, and I think everyone is thriving. As a writer, I have taken this week to set new goals (to go along with my new part time work schedule--three cheers one more time).
We've also been focusing on teaching moments, and this has been really great.
But most, this is about friends. And community. And supporting each other in the process....
Anyway, I completely recommend doing this kind of thing. Being able to hand over your SHITTY rough draft to a trusted reader is a privilege....and now I finally feel on my way.....
