Open Mind, Better Workshop
Hey Emerson writers!
Welcome to the first month of a new blog written just for you. Each month we’ll
offer a new article filled with writing tips and workshop etiquette. This time
around, we have some suggestions meant to help you get the most of your writing
workshop. I believe in a few necessities that everyone should keep in mind in
order to foster a positive workshop environment. The following recommendations
should help make workshop experiences more satisfying and worthwhile for both
you and your peers.
#1: Always go into every
workshop with an open mind. Close mindedness will only dampen the experience
for you. I can’t emphasize this enough: every opinion is one to be valued and
appreciated, even if you don’t necessarily agree with it. And you don’t have
to. But it’s important to respect the advice others are trying to give to you.
