Fear and Loathing in First Draft

This workshop is designed for writers who are working on a book-length narrative. It focuses on first draft, but with excursions into related topics such as getting stuck and revision. Participants are asked to bring a few pages of their draft, paper and something to write with, and questions about any stage of the writing process.
