Good idea with the workshops, I know I need practice in a
few lot of areas!
Anyway, even if everyone's done this:
1. As a writer, what kind of workshops are you looking for?
Workshops that motivate me to write (having other people doing the same is good, it makes me want to write better than them), teach me new techniques and are still interesting.
2. What motivates you to do them.?
Improving as a writer and learning more about others' style of writing.
3. If there was an arbitrary point system for the writers section alone (Let's say I post a topic with badges given to those who've completed workshops) Would you feel more motivated to write? Hmm. . . Pokemon-type badges (as mentioned before) would be good, as would the 8 workshops every week/month themed around one thing. People might stress out if there was a time limit/order but I think this would work well to motivate me and others!
Nevermind making a new topic, I'll just post here.
As me and Lego discussed earlier, a workshop group based around productivity is needed. Something where
15 - 24 page short stories/one shots are produced by each member monthly. The point of this is that if you're in a group that's working hard you'll work hard as well, or you're fellow members will pressure you into doing. Might sound a little silly but I honestly need something like this to get me more active, MR needs something like this.
Other rules are that if you fail to meet a deadline you're given a strike. Once you get 3 strikes you're kicked and only aloud back if you submit a 100 page short story within a year (or 60 pages in 3 months if you can do that).
So there you have it, a workshop of Brutality.
I would enjoy that, for as long as I could keep it up. . . It might even cure my procrastination habits. :P
