The Writer's Workshop at BYU-Idaho gives students a chance to share their writing in a friendly, constructive environment. Fellow students and writers comment and critique each other's writing to help each other improve. Many who attend the workshop feel this is a helpful addition to English classes because they can get critique every week. Others say the workshop helps them get a sense of what the average person thinks about their writing, rather than English teachers and majors. The Workshop meets Wednesday nights from 7:30 to 9:00 in Smith 322. To find out more and see what workshop attendees think, watch the following video.

Behind the scenes
I made this video for a school project. However, it was not the first idea I had. Originally, I wanted to do a story about how people who play World of Warcraft have lives outside of Azeroth. Unfortunately, my source bailed. Then, I decided to do a story about traffic laws in Rexburg, but my police contact was out of town. Then, I decided to cover an event at a local water park. The event was postponed. Finally, I turned to the Writers Workshop for help. They were more than happy to work with me and help me get this story done.
Even then, I still had a lot of problems, the biggest being my inability to turn up the volume on some of my interviews. Now that I have this experience under my belt, I'll hopefully be able to avoid all the problems I ran into this time around.
