Writing Workshop

Here's a thought: how about a writing and criticism section on my message board? A place where people can stick up samples of their writing and have others criticise it? This would be an internet version of the kind of postal workshop, or folio, I was a member of for about 10 years...

Obviously I wouldn't be able to add lots of comments myself while I'm in Crete, but this could still be a useful resource for those who want to write.

H/T Guy Haley

Oh, and seeing as I nicked this idea from Guy I just went and bought his novella (a mere 65p) for my kindle.

    Anything that encourages creativity is good in my opinion, so I'd say go for it!

    I've personally found your pieces on writing advice and your own methods of writing very helpful and quite inspirational, thanks Neal!

    Okay, I'll sort that out. I'll have to be limited word count etc and under a new title each time.

    I posted a random, but for some reason it didn't actually go through.

    For the best me thinks.

    Yes, but not ready yet.
