Section 6
This is a safe space. Here you feel heard and supported. Our goal is hear your story and then to focus on the writing so that it can show, not tell, what you are experiencing, as clearly as possible.
Writing Workshop (20 min. Total)
5 min to share and discuss per person
Peer Review
Please remove all identifiable information from what you have written. Replace real names of people and places with pseudonyms. When everyone is ready, take 5 min with each person reading what they have written. This is a time to listen and to not interrupt. If a workshop member would rather, they may tell the story they tried to capture in words. Right after each person has shared, use their remaining five minutes to respond to the questions:
Can you summarize what you just heard? (What is it about? Who is the speaker?)
What lines or words spoke to you?
What lines or words did you wish you could experience more clearly?
Revision
Take a few moments to incorporate the suggestions of other Workshop members to more clearly see the precarity you experienced.
