Much of my newly discovered writing ability is thanks to the tireless efforts of the Fiction Workshop. Although I try to help critique a bit when I'm able, most of my free time is spent writing. The good people at the workshop never tire (at least they never show it...) of my fairly wordy projects. They have helped me begin to understand my own "voice" as well as provide encouragement that I would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. If you have any interest in writing, get yourself over to the workshop. Thanks and cheers!
