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:
:thumb374492565:
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
What do YOU want?
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.

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
