Pursuant to a post on a community effort geared towards writing, I’ve completed (aside from a list of links) a proposal as to how a group of writers can benefit their community and can support each other within the framework of that organized circle. No doubt if others get involved, even more ideas will be available for implementation–and fun!
With that in the works, it seems that my efforts in what I may as well call a hobby are committed for at least a bit longer in that direction.
Now I sit back and wait. If things go well, I sit back and plan.
Susan — maybe you should start a Ladies Literary Lunch group in your area, like Bella Stander did in Virginia and now in Denver. We meet for lunch once a month (I’ve gone to the last two) and it’s really a great way to meet new people and talk about all kinds of things related to writing, publication or none of the above. The group is still small but already there are freelancers, a publicist, an agent, novelists, a memoirist and a columnist for The Huffington Post.
Lisa, this opportunity came up in a neighboring city to develop a writing group within an established group dedicated to the Fine Arts yet missing the element of writing. I’m pleased to have accepted the directorship of this missing link and am both excited and terrified at the same time because it’s starting from scratch. Should be interesting and fun, though!
