Discussion continues about the Freed Screed, but over at The Atlantic, Rick Moody has written what can only be described as a competing essay on "his earliest years as a writer, and the kind of teaching that helped or hindered him". Thanks to Katia, who commented that Moody's piece was "much more insightful about writing workshops" than Freed's in Harpers.

And here's a long, thoughtful reaction to the Freed piece.
