Writing Group 2
« on: February 13, 2006, 02:32:03 PM »
This is to see if there is sufficient interest to justify trying to start a second writing group.

Shrain, can I count you as interested?

I'm free on Thursday nights, as long as no minds that I don't write much and I fight with SE a lot.

Again, 9 months pregnant here, so I'm not ditching anyone.

Fight, fight! In one corner: Mistress of Darkness. In the other: God. Could a writing group be any more interesting?

Maybe not. But I'm hoping some of you other writerly people will want to get in on the action...

I'm looking for a writing group in person, as a way of meeting new local friends, so I'm probably not in the market for another online group.

Aww, shoot, stacer. Way to get my hopes up! I saw you'd posted on this thread and thought maybe you were thinking of joining. *sigh* Oh, well. Hope you find a good local group, though...

Rosencrantz says he's interested in the AS coordination thread.

Cool. So that's three (if, that is, SE is willing to spread his omniscent self between two groups). Still a bit small, though. But maybe not everyone's checked out the Writing Group corner of the board lately.

I want to say that I will participate, but I just can't spread myself that thin--I can't meet that frequently. Three times a month is about my max. But if you ever need comments on stuff, Shrain, I would be happy to read whatever you need me to.

I'm definately interested in joining a writing group.  I just hopped on with everything on this site, so just let me know if there's space and when.

Sure. I'd be happy to have you. So that brings us up to four six or seven people:
SE
Shrain
MoD
Rosencrantz
Lightning Eater
Robert_Boyd
Jena (?)

Hey, Rosencrantz, can you introduce yourself a little more? Post your intro to the Introduce Yourself--right on! thread.

MoD and I are both in Speculists, but I guess there's not that much harm in having us in both. Unless you get tired of hearing our arguments. It's amazing we like the same genres. We're always fighting about what makes that genre worth it.

lol. Yeah, no harm so long as you guys fight word-to-word; no weapons of any kind. ;D

Okie-dokie, I'm all introduced.  I'm not sure if I know any you...  But I have a pretty free schedule, so let me know if we have a definative schedule or anything yet.  Thanks
