Should relational egalitarians always oppose stigma? I argue no. Where stigma is unwarranted, relational egalitarians should oppose it. But where it is *warranted*, it is at the very least unobjectionable and, in some circumstances, may even be obligatory.

One thing I feel pretty confident I will be teaching writers for years to come is that your process has to be what works for you and not what anyone else is telling you is the way to do it. Years into my MFA, I FINALLY have my process and it is so against what most people teach.
