Aspiring and experienced Writers' discussion thread

[The Valkyrie]

It would be fun to start an AF writers' group. When I lived elsewhere, I went to a group every week, and I loved it. Here, people are way snobbier about their groups and you practically have to be a Pulitzer winner to get in.

I agree with Chad: talking about writing can be detrimental; if you have a specific purpose, however, it can be extremely productive.

Now that I'm thinking about it: would you guys participate in a writers' group subforum if I petitioned for it? The way I see it is a dedicated thread to each member's piece(s) where we can comment and critique.

I certainly would.

I spent a good portion of the last weekend sitting on my arse writing my great fantasy novel.

So far what I've written is basic, and full of grammatical errors.  But, I think, at this stage, the important thing is to get the story down and then I can edit it.
