I agree .. the craft is important. For my 2c, I like the focus on characterisation and literary devices. I always sy that I need my readers to experience the world I'm writing through the senses of my characters. That makes them more 'lifelike'. They feel like real people. I noted the focus on outlining, which I didn't get to ask about. I am more a 'pantser', so I'm wondering how do I outline a book to a specific genre ... I get a little overwhelmed by things like the 'Bell the Cat' and the different 'story beats' that people say a story should have. \

I was definitely interested in the topic as an erotic writer myself, and a past student of Wayne Jordan's as well. This was a comprehensive workshop that gave me not only food for thought - but a working blurb for a sequel to one of my previously published books that I've been sitting on! I learned a lot and was - as I always am - extremely happy to take the time to be a part of the Writer's Clinic. Great job everyone!

I love the short, sharp words and the feel of this piece. It feels like I can feel the ash rolling over me as I read the pace of this piece. Feels ominous.
