Abstract

In 2016 I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop for the first time. My favorite session was hosted by Alan Zweibel, an author, producer and former Saturday Night Live writer. I jotted down notes feverishly because I knew I wanted to remember his advice and perspective, like this point, "As a writer what you remember is not the product but the process." He told the workshop attendees, "The victory is in writing it."
