Workshop Notes is a series of short guides on fiction writing. They reflect my experience as a writer and creative writing facilitator, and explore various aspects of the process. Each guide consists of 10-13 pages and combines observations, examples, and exercises that I have come up with during my own writing and in workshops. I hope these notes will encourage you to trust your ideas and keep writing.
