at least for the first week. The teacher/moderator can make all the difference.

I once belonged to a writer's workshop in NY where the moderator was an accomplished writer. It was free, believe it or not. Our feedback to the reading/work of the other participants was considered our dues. It was held every Saturday in a reading room of a church in Brooklyn.

I got a lot of good feed back and learned much in how to structure stories...also got a few good stories out of it.
