writers workshop

"The workshop is a crucible in which every part
of the human equation is tested: creation, destruction,
leadership, control, privacy, exhibitionism, voyeurism,
love, hatred, fear, collaboration, cooperation, order,
chaos, victory, devastation, humility, pride, shyness,
bravado, and spirituality. For technical people, the raw
emotion is surprising; for the creative writer the clinical
coldness is alarming."
