Joining a writing workshop can do wonders for your writing skills.  Not only does it give you the opportunity to learn from other writers in your field, but they, in turn learn from your skills as well.  It’s a situation that benefits everyone involved, and may just be the impetus you need to get you through the weary process of completing a full length piece.

The second major benefit of a workshop is the support of others who know the challenges a writer faces.  It’s a great help to hear how they made it over the hurdles that accompany putting a story on the page.  Even if you have the most supportive family and friends in the world, it’s nice to know that someone else has been where you are at the moment.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be highlighting some online workshops, with an emphasis on those that have no fees associated with them.  With any luck, I’ll stumble across one that may be of interest to you, and if I can help get your muse to sing, I’m all for it!
