I really don't have anything profound to say here, just dropping by to wish you all well. Neil Gaiman, on the other hand, does, although this is technically from a few years back.
New Year's Resolutions are an important thing! And while I have more than one, I do have one that's relevant to us here at WW, and that is I resolve to critique more often. I'm going to try to make sure that every workshopper gets at least one solid critique per piece during workshops. I've felt lately that the "critique weeks" have left something to be desired for a lot of deviants, and I for one admit that I haven't been leading by example.
So! In the new year, I promise to leave a decent-length critique on at least half the workshop submissions, and all of them if we don't get a lot of submissions for a particular workshop. I also pledge to ensure that no one writes a piece for a workshop and then ends up with no critiques.
Speaking of workshops, our next workshop is going to be on free-verse poetry! It's going to be hosted by the wonderful intricately-ordinary, and if you haven't read her work, check it out! It's brilliant stuff. So, if learning strategies to write free-verse poetry is at all interesting to you, stay tuned!

Dialogue Workshop: Part 2!
Hey all, here's part one, in case you missed it the first time:
:thumb372460322:
I ended up giving people two weeks with this Workshop instead of one, to encourage people to submit more stuff. And people submitted stuff!
Three people.
saltwaterlungs (https://www.deviantart.com/saltwaterlungs) submitted this conversation between two dying people, which ended up being in turns both hilarious and a little heartbreaking:

magic6jewls (https://www.deviantart.com/magic6jewls) created a scene with an older teacher in a romantic entanglement with a younger student.

demonsweat (https://www.deviantart.com/demonsweat) took a traditional police interrogation scene and added an interesting twist.

Dialogue Workshop!
Hey! The Folder is Open! And Empty! Write Things and Stick 'em in! http://writers-workshop.deviantart.com/gallery/43752263
Hi. Sorry I was gone. I'm back. We have to talk.
About talking.
But first! I know that a lot of people have been concerned that:
1. These workshops are getting less and less frequent. We're working on that! I plan on doing weekly updates for the rest of the summer, and workshops should happen about once every three weeks or so.
2. People are not being a community. So! I have an idea about how to fix it. Maybe it'll fly, maybe it'll sink, but we're going to try it. The Week 3 journal is just going to be a shoutout bo

Hey all: total honesty? My creative juices are kinda sapped.
I know I've been kind of a crappy admin since...well, basically since I took over. When I was just a member of this group, in high school, I really loved it; it had engaging challenges, I got a lot of feedback on each submission, and I looked forward to the wrap-up journals that highlighted the hosts' favorites.
But I haven't been providing that for you guys, and I'm sorry :( . I know we had an uptick in submissions to intricately-ordinary (https://www.deviantart.com/intricately-ordinary)'s brilliant free-verse workshop, but I worry that too many of the poems went critique-less, and I didn't feature any of my faves.
I also
Wrapping up Free Verse + Mini Contest!
Hey all!
Be sure to check out some of the entries in the Free Verse Workshop folder! http://writers-workshop.deviantart.com/gallery/41544630 Unfortunately, I'm way behind on critiques, and I'll probably be finishing them up as the next workshop gets underway.
And, as you might've surmised, I'm behind on the next Workshop as well, haven't gotten it all set-up and written yet. This semester's turning out more hectic than I thought it'd be! So, as a bridge between this workshop and the next, I'm putting on a mini-contest.
The Contest!
Write a critique, at least 100 words long, of any of the poems in the folder. Then post a link to your criti

Hey, uh, that video doesn't play anything.
Thanks for sharing your resolution! Now you know you can be held accountable and punishable!
Frankly, I think "critique week" is flawed. If I'm going to write a comment or critique of something, I gotta do it right then, first time I look at it, or it won't happen. I think you could, perhaps, withhold releasing the submitted stories via the Workshop until the deadline has passed, then release all the submissions for the Workshoppers to view and critique. Ehhhh but perhaps this isn't the place for such comments....
