Thanks so much, @Julia F. Green. I do think this part of the writing workshop process is often overlooked, so I'm glad I gave myself the opportunity to think more deeply about it. I hope it can help other writers approach workshop with fewer nerves and more of a sense of possibility!

A lot of good advice here, Allison, thanks for this. Workshop can be exhausting, it's good to be reminded of how to approach it, deal with it in the moment, and consider it afterwards.

Thanks so much Jason. Exhausting is the perfect word for it. I'm glad you found this helpful, and I hope others do too.
