"I came into the workshop a little apprehensive. "All these women are going to be such great writers," I thought. As the night went on, I began to feel a sudden burst of confidence...Suddenly all the hidden creativeness I knew was within me shone through...This weekend I finally became friends with my inner writer!"           ~ Karen Connell "The best part of the weekend for me was drawing on the spirit, passion and energy of the group. And having a forum to read without criticism was wonderful..."           ~ Carolyn Rowland "I've become freer, looser and much more apt to take risks; more open to writing creatively."              ~ Audrey Larkin "I loved the group discussions and I really enjoyed everyone's readings. Such richness, depth and diversity to the stories. My writing is coming easier and I feel I can go anywhere and write about anything."           ~Lisa Calhoon "My biggest breakthrough was feeling I belonged with other writers."           ~ Sheila O'Conner
