This workshop has one focus only: to help you create—and complete—one personal essay during the weekend. Why write an essay? Because, as the writer Carol Bly says, “an essay is 3,000% easier. To write than a short story.” The essay is a scalable form. Working in this form can help you:. Access the stories that you want to tell. Learn more about literary structure. Gain the confidence to actually finish. Transition your skill to fiction and memoir. Non-native speakers of English welcome. April 30, 2010.
