Meacham Workshop

3/7/2016

0 Comments

 
This past weekend I participated in a writers' workshop, a segment of the Meacham Conference. Laurel Snyder, a writing instructor, led our group. In advance of the session, each of us submitted a piece of our writing for critique. We began with Laurel's presentation of suggestions and rules to help develop our writing skills. Then each participant's story was reviewed by the group first and then, our instructor.
It is critical for an author to develop a thick skin for this process to work. The one feature that I always keep in mind is that the writing is being critiqued, not the writer. That hour and a half was well-spent. Even though I did not agree with everything that was said, it gave me a foundation for improving my skills. That is what any budding author wants in the long run.
