ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses in detail what actually happens when writers who have been working alone come back together to read and discuss their work. It explores pedagogy, creativity, and agency. Creative writing 'workshops' there is, then, an emphasis placed on craft, learning, and refining writing. While the ease and flow of inspiration may take place during the initial writing of the texts, the act of revision might be considered to be labour or work. Lydia's Plowman suggestions are based on other creative writing groups and her own experience of teaching; arguably they are more focused on attending to, and improving, individual pieces of writing. The very act of writing then, elides the distinction between self and other; and all writing, as Sartre argues, intends to 'trap' a reader. Like Alfred Gell's artworks as traps, all creative activity can be seen as inherently relational.
