It is certainly my job to respond here. It seems my earlier message came off as ironic -- others felt my workshop was a little sparse. While I did think plenty of great stuff was said, NOTHING is worse than the sensation that everyone was holding back their REAL comments. What is this class for if not for constructive criticism? BE MEAN if you don't like the piece, BE NICE if you like it -- but don't flatter crap or just sit there while others disparage good writing. Come to class with specific suggestions or criticisms, or interpretations at least. Don't be intimidated tby Garber's comments -- make your own! We are all in this class to make one another into better writers, so we are all doing ourvelves enourmous mutual disservice by holding back. I for one -- while I generally try to do so anyway -- am now holding nothing back. My role in this class is not simply one of WRITING, but also one of READING and CRITICIZING.
