Of the con itself or the writers workshop? The con I really enjoyed - I won't go into detail here because I think you mean the workshop. If you want to know more about my impressions of the con I have several posts in my journal. :)
The workshop was interesting in that it was very collaborative - we all put out the idea or theme or basic story of one thing we were working on. Then we took turns discussing each idea. I got a lot of neat ideas and questions to answer about my story.
However, I also would like to have learned a little more about the craft of writing - strucure, outlining a novel, practicing writing stories, etc. One of the neat things we did in the poetry workshop was we actually wrote poetry. The mods had these great writing prompts - collages, different colored rocks, etc. It wasn't like we wrote epic poetry or anything, but I had several quick and (I hope!) cute pieces come out of that.
