 "Can the monster teach us sympathy for ugly writing, the draft, the mess, the unfinished, the disorganized, the not-yet-good-enough, and the mistakes? We’ll explore the relationship between writer and “bad” text, that is, between the ‘creator’ and the ‘text-monster’. A text-monster is part of the creative process, reminding us that monsters never come only from the outside; they always lurk within, already woven into the act of creation, ready to scratch us as soon as we imagine we can do anything to ‘perfection’. Because whereas monsters exist, perfection does not.
