Workshop

To me I've found that workshop is like ripping off a band-aid: do it fast and it's not as bad as it originally seems. Though I was extremely terrified to read my poem to a class knowing that I am not the world's best poem, it was better than I originally anticipated. It's not that I expected anyone to be ugly to me about my poem, I just expected a lot more negative criticism rather than positive because I did not have faith in what I brought to the table. But after hearing what everyone had to say and voicing my opinion on what others brought to the table, it's a little bit freeing. Like a weight was lifted or something along those lines.
