Just got back from an energizing, exhausting, affirming, emotionally wrenching, cathartic, thought-provoking, highly intimate, assumption-busting, eye-opening, deeply challenging, exhilarating first-time experience: a two-day writers’ workshop (focus: the novel), held in downtown Boston. (And no, we weren’t taught to write sentences like that!) The group of seven (five women, two men–age range: 25-75) was led with wisdom, warmth, professionalism and depth by author Jacqueline Sheehan whose latest novel, ‘Lost and Found’ just got optioned for film rights. I feel like a whole new world has opened up.
