Statement: "In my view, the best thing a workshop can provide is excitement. By focusing on where a story is most original, most engaging – where it 'burns the brightest,' as I heard someone say last summer – the workshop can locate ideas and scenes a writer may not have realized had so much potential. It's easy to lose faith in something you're working on; in fact, losing faith in your own work may well be an essential part of writing well. So part of the workshop's job is to help you locate that spark, where your work is most alive, original, memorable. And then send you on your way again."
