Trying something new is always a mix of things: exciting, daunting, scary--even sticky. When doing something new, it usually helps to have some friends around. Especially when you write. I'm writing--a novel? a story? Who knows what it will look like in the end, but for now, it feels very different than what I've done before. Wordshop 101 will serve as a space for trying out new things, and for discovering and perpetuating all kinds of knowledge--literary, artistic, even cultural. I look forward to sharing all of them with you as I move forward. Just for the record, in Wordshop 101, I am not the teacher; I am the student. Please take what you will from the writing process which I will document here, along with reviews, critiques, and other reflections to come. I invite you to ask questions and post your thoughts at every step of the way.
