Aspiring and experienced Writers' discussion thread

[Thumpalumpacus]

I've written an unpublished autobiographical novel, some essays, some poetry, a hundred or so songs with lyrics to the music, and am currently at work on a thriller that addresses the theme of the overweening security state.

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 would certainly participate.
