We also did two exercises: "lock up your inner editor", in which we drew judgmental faces on index cards and gave them to the Municipal Liaisons for safekeeping, and "plot ninja", in which we synopsized our novels and passed the papers around and wrote questions and suggestions on everyone else's. We got our own back but we're not supposed to look until we get stuck.
