The Attic Experience

"The novel-in-progress class was great. It did the simple things like force me to write. Merridawn was very effective in providing guidance, encouragement, and feedback. What I feared the most going into the workshop was a group that strayed off topic, started late or ended late. It seems to happen in almost all groups. But Merridawn runs a great, effective, and efficient class. Thanks. I look forward to another workshop in the future.
