I had a really great class last night. Just a lot of interesting and stimulating discussion. There are only 5 of us students but everyone is taking the class seriously and has a lot of insight to offer.
We workshopped my 17 page manuscript during the last portion of the class and leading up to it, i felt a bit queasy at the thought of my writing being ripped apart. It was a familiar feeling - the excitement of having a group of people read your work and potentially like and praise it, along with the fear that you've been writing inside a bubble and no one will think it's any good at all.
I got the good and then some bad but the best news is that i feel like i can keep going in the direction i've been going, i just have some real editing and revising to do.
I plan to hunker down this weekend and make it happen.
