Creative Writing Workshop, An introduction Options

[Imogen]

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.

Things have finally settled down to the point that I might actually get to participate in the writing workshop -- however, anyone else think it might be a good idea to post relevant bits from the chat/workshop to a permanent file (for those of us who might have to miss a session or four)?

I'm looking forward to resuming classes in January, even though that means I'll have less time for reading fan fiction, writing fan fiction, writing in general, reading, etc...
