Hello workshoppers! As you may have noticed, the two workshops in this cycle have dealt with focusing on detail (and lack thereof) and the importance of detail in writing. That said, Becca and I have decided that it would be a good idea to have some reflection on the details of the writers behind the writing. Therefore, we bring you Details Week! Let us know where you stand, the details of you as a writer and where you are with your writing.

A few things to consider when writing:

What reason(s) do you write for?
Do you take your writing seriously?
If so, when did you start taking writing seriously?
Where do you feel you stand as a writer?
What do you feel you do well? (ie, characterisation, dialogue, imagery, etc.)
What do you feel you struggle with?
What do you most want to improve on?
Do you have any questions to ask your readers?

Ask questions. These can be to the readers, they can be to yourself, they can be to a figment of your imagination, but ask away. Asking promotes thought, and thought may just prompt the answers you've been looking for, or at least point you in the right direction to getting these answers!
Read what others have to say. It could be that others are having the same problems you are, or else that someone could have the solution to challenges you've been struggling with. This is definitely one of those situations where communication will likely be very beneficial!

How to Submit

Submit your review as a scrap or a journal entry and link it to us in a note, with the subject line "DETAILS WEEK" before midnight, April 1. (This is obviously more than one week, but it best fits our schedule this way.) The reason we say scrap or journal is because this is more a reflection than actual writing, and will likely not fall under the dA category system as it were. `Beccalicious and I will respond to entries between April 1 and 5, with an overall results journal posted on the 5th. However, we encourage that everyone read and comment on what everyone else has to say, as it will be of great benefit for everyone that way!
