It is necessary in every artistic field to "set up shop" with great artists, to learn from them, to imitate their style, and then, after mastering the tradition, to develop one's own style. "A Creative Writer's Workshop" was an exploration of this method of learning. Before each of the three major writing assignments of the semester, most of which are contained within this volume, we read and discussed exemplary works of creative writing, with the hope that we would develop some understanding of what beautiful writing looks and sounds like. With the prose of Flannery O'Connor, James Joyce and G.K. Chesterton fresh in our minds, we set out to produce works that could, in some small way, draw upon our new-found understanding of the art of writing. Whether we were successful in this endeavor is for you to decide, but we hope you will find enjoyment in our efforts.
