Last night's workshop was fantastic. I struggle with meter, Iambic pentameter etc and I don't think I'll attempt writing with it any time soon yet I really enjoyed a peek into what makes it all work. A couple of years ago I took a course with Joshua Mehigan and I just couldn't get it. Still, I'm awed by those who can write with meter and make it appear like it's magic. Nicole did a great job of explaining, what seems to me, to be essentially a foreign language.
I know a couple other writers that might find last night's workshop interesting. Is there anyway you would offer the video to other writers in exchange for a fee of $25.00 or more even?
I'm awed myself. What Nicole said about interest in form being somewhat aligned with interest in solving puzzles makes sense to me. I've personally never been too into puzzles in the traditional sense. I like... different sorts of puzzles, I suppose. All poems are a kind of puzzle, of course.
I think the answer to your last question is that if folks are interested they need to find a way to take a workshop with Nicole or seek out 1-on-1 consultations :)
