The idea of writing workshops fills me with horror. Not fear... horror. I just don't work that way. I've never been the least tempted to try one.
In fact, for better or worse, it was very unusual for anyone to see ANYthing I was working on until it was completely finished.
Now, Debbie sees everything in the process. But I still have odd feelings about letting people read something that is unfinished. This could be because I revise constantly as I write, and I know it's not going to be the same. Or it could just be fear that the image in my head won't get out if too many voices chime in before it manages to leap to the page.
