All:
I found the book I referred to last week. It's called WRITERS' WORKSHOP &
THE WORK OF MAKING THINGS by Richard P. Gabriel. The back cover reads, in
part:
" The writer's workshop provides creative writers with a time-tested
teaching and revision tool, and business and technical professionals with a
new and effective alternative to impersonal peer reviews and scientific
workshops. In this intense, interactive, gift-based forum, writers help
each other hone their craft and improve individual pieces of work.
... Whether you write poems, short stories, documentation, or software, the
collective energy of a writers' workshop can significantly enhance
innovation, clarity, and effectiveness in your writing.
... Poet and computer scientist Richard P Gabriel, Ph.D., M.F.A., introduced
the writers' workshop to the software patterns community. He is the author
of PATTERNS OF SOFTWARE and PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION OF LIST SYSTEMS. His
poetry has appeared in numerous literary magazines."
