This is all really great feedback. I've never hosted anything like this, but I've been both an artist and a writer on them. I guess my only quibble with drafts is that I find I write the draft in a rush to make the deadline, but then go back and almost have to rewrite it. I'd rather pace myself more evenly. Maybe it's a matter of a draft that's as complete as possible, but not necessarily an ending yet. (that's the part I find I rush for the draft)
What do you both think of that? But I agree the artist shouldn't be face with a disappearing writer after they do all their hard work.
