dumaguete workshop
I have very good memories of my time as a writing fellow over at Dumaguete in 1992, basking in the radiance of the Tiempos. As fas as I'm concerned, this is THE writing workshop, easily eclipsing the others I've attended, including the UP workshop. It helped hone my skill, position my thoughts, and question my craft in many ways, some of them good, some of them quite devastating. At the time I applied, I had already a pair of playwriting Palancas under my belt and felt that my weakness was in fiction, in prose - so the samples I submitted for consideration were not drama but prose. I'm glad I did.
This year's panelists are a great bunch. If you haven't already, go ahead and apply. You owe it to yourself.
