by Why Writing Workshops Might Be the Funniest Part of Your Week
Writing workshops are where dreams go to be gently criticized by people with three unfinished novels and a lot of opinions on semicolons. You walk in with a piece you’re proud of, and by the time you leave, your main character has been accused of emotional codependency, bad pacing, and possibly murder. Someone suggests your poem would be better as a screenplay, while another insists it should be a TikTok series narrated by a frog. The group leader says, “This is an interesting start,” which is workshop code for “This made my eyes bleed.”
