Merrilee Faber is running a Creativity Workshop that will run from now ’til August. It involves writing lots of short stories.

Even though I’m in the middle of a novel edit, I joined because I’m still not done with my novel, and I’m feeling quite bad about that. In the long run, I’ll benefit if I give this workshop my all; it should help me complete works in a more timely manner.

Our first assignment is to assess our weak-points or other things we’d like to work on during the workshop when it comes to writing short stories.

So without further ado…

Speed~~

I’m too slow at finalizing my work. I don’t know if it’s a lack of self-imposed deadlines, lack of discipline, some form of deep-seated perfectionism, or something else entirely holding me back, but I want to get over this hurdle and produce works at a more professional rate of speed.

The goal of this workshop is to generate an idea, write it, edit it, and have it be presentable within the course of a single week, multiple times over.
