I was wondering about doing a regular workshop on writing techniques that are used in various books and how to use them yourself. Things like mood, dialogue, tense use for effect...

I could post a few passages from various books in the forums for people to read and discuss, and we could have a live chat workshop sometime on the first Saturday of every month, and post any writing that comes out of it for other people to enjoy.

If anyone else fancies running any of the workshops, you're more than welcome to, because I'm always up for learning new stuff too.

Anyone think this would be worthwhile?

I would love to! My writing needs so much work, and I really have never gotten any kind of structured advice/instruction about it.

That's the general idea. I don't know quite how it'll work out, but we can play it by ear and see how we go.

If anyone's got anything specific they want to kick off with, let me know and I'll start planning a session.

No specific ideas from me, but definitely count me in. If I think of anything specific I'll pipe up!

Count me in!
