“Odyssey Writing Workshops offer a lot! I sometimes wonder if I can absorb all that’s available. The Heart of the Matter, a workshop on developing deeper character emotions within your stories, was no exception. You receive the most helpful critiques from fellow writers and then Barbara Ashford throws in her compendium of knowledge to boot. It was an avalanche, and I read and wrote and critiqued and danced along as quickly as I could. I got a lot from it. It has ended, but it’ll be another month before I can cover all that was presented. But the writing goes on and I’m changed. I highly recommend getting involved if you write fiction, flash fiction, science fiction, fantasy, horror or if you want a really honest take on your writing. Get in!”
