We've spent a while discussing this and thought it would be a good idea to have a creative writing workshop looking at a particular aspect of fiction writing. The workshop will take place once a month and anyone is welcome to join in.

The plan is to post some extracts from a variety of published authors works for discussion in this forum about 10 days before a live chat workshop where we can work on the techniques in question and learn from each other. Then it would be great if people could try their hand at it themselves and post it here for others to review and discuss.

We're all learning in this sort of workshop, so please try and keep comments on people's writing as positive as you can. Positive and constructive criticism is seriously helpful, as is encouragement!

The first workshop will be happening in early December after NaNoWriMo is finished. Date and details to come soon.

I'm really looking forward to participating. Sounds like a good format -- should be successful.

Are you sure you won't want a bit of a break after NaNoWriMo?
