Sajha Writer's Guild has been very welcoming in giving opportunities to water-testers like me :) I dont know about others, but i need a lot of discipline to keep me moving... Czar, the writer's workshop is a great idea. But if you want the workshop to be inclusive of Sajha writers, as you mentioned above, may be an online workshop is a better idea, provided Sajha is willing to host it. My assumption is that Sajha writers hail from different corners of the world and a regular physical workshop might be difficult if creativity keeps flowing into the Guild so rapidly :) If the administration approves of it, Sajha can have a little section for a workshop where readers can post their comments. On a more productive note, writers can gather in a virtual room and give sincere critiques of each other's articles. Critiques that will find loopholes in their writings so they dont make the same mistakes again. If writers are seriously considering this hobby to mould it into a talent someday, I dont think they would want to be bogged down by little achievements; I bet they wouldnt mind some negative feedbacks, I wouldnt. Like, Jewel's story. I dont have the right to comment, but just wanted to spill it out. It was very moving, sunkoshi jhandai bagya (like someone said somewhere), but that the writer kept his emphasis on mother's undivided love for her only son while her love for the daughter was completely ignored, which is kind of unnatural. And mother, father and son sitting together drinking wine was a little jerky when the readers were all the way walked through the portrayal of a motherly love. Sitara's story (I dont dare comment) but yea, you can throw rotten eggs later :) It was a nice piece, unlike mine, it has things moving, I can see things happen, like in real life. But lacks imagery and sometimes things arent descriptive, which makes it feel like the story is pacing and has ended abrubtly. La, mero dui paise comments, no offense to the writers. And thank you Czar for your interest. A person who doesnt write cannot be so interested in such workshops, ani khai ta, when will we have the privilege of reading your pieces?
