For my writer flist friends. I wonder if there is enough interest in a B7 Writing community?
The purpose would not be to put pieces up just to have people read them purely for enjoyment. What we would do is commit to helping each other grow as writers by giving constant constructive criticism. Whether in terms of grammar/spelling, character development, whether things like humour/romance/action/etc are working, flow, consistency, etc. We would all make an effort to comment on each other's work. What we would not be looking for is "that's nice" comments for gratification but to give positive suggestions/criticism for growth as well as praise for things done well.
We might also want to explore things like writing exercises and helping and sharing with each other about the writing/creative process.
While I'd like to keep this B7 oriented, as there are other writing forums that are general, I am open to other ideas.
We're all learning as we go along so no need to be shy. We're not professional writers.
Is there any interest in forming this kind of community?

B7 Writing Community
I'm sadly sure I would fail to keep the commitment. Heck, I only managed ONE week of the B7 rewatch and that's far simpler. *nods* I don't expect much response. Most people have been doing this for quite a while and only seem to have sporadic interest in writing anymore. I was hoping for some of those who are still actively writing or are fairly new, like me. Well I'd be interested but I suggest that it's "B7 and stuff" Sounds good, but I'm far too hit and miss about keeping up with things. Hope you find enough interest for your idea to work. Good luck. It's an interesting idea if the volumes are low enough to handle. I'm not sure I could commit to being involved all the time. We'll be glad to have you. Once we get a few more people, we'll start having some discussions about how many we want. Not too many but enough to have activity. I'd have a go, though my committment might be variable due to the usual, plus periods of complete non inspiration. |
