I know from experience how intimidating the prospect of a workshop can be. It's hard to offer up your writing, such a personal thing, for criticism, but I've learned that constructive feedback is a necessary part of growing as a writer. I think you're doing a great thing for yourself. I hope your workshop experience is just as life-changing as mine was.<br /><br />Best of luck!<br />AmyAmy Greenehttp://www.amygreeneauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434699491181348092.post-46026570423101568992010-01-08T13:19:53.443-08:002010-01-08T13:19:53.443-08:00Amy,
Your words and story are very inspiring and...Amy, <br /><br />Your words and story are very inspiring and, I look forward to reading your new book.<br /><br />Life is a journey filled with an abundance of unknowns. As an aspiring new writer, I sit with pen and paper, getting lost for hours while releasing the stories in my own head. <br /><br />For me, having the discipline to move those stories from my own journal onto a format for others to read has beeen difficult and, the thought of planting myself in a workshop or conference with established writers even more so.<br /><br />I took my first step a little over a year ago and joined Aggie's writing group at Keplers. This has made a world of difference to me, opening up my eyes to other's witings and hearing a great deal of contstuctive feedback from the amazing people in our group.<br /><br />For 2010, I'm going to take another big step and finally attend a writing workshop. Wish me luck!<br /><br />Thank you for your post and again, for your inspiring words.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DeniseDenise Rae Kouzoujianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882242344924167820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434699491181348092.post-84286497421446811632010-01-08T11:22:22.279-08:002010-01-08T11:22:22.279-08:00Amy, I have known you since you were in grade scho...Amy, I have known you since you were in grade school and you are an amazing young woman!<br /><br />Sara's MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
