    Default The 2nd Writing Group Sign Up Thread

    The 2nd Writing Group Sign Up Thread

    Signed Up Writers:

    Introduction:

    This is the 2nd writing group, the first being created by Warluster, credit to him for this great idea. I'll assume that the lack of PM's I've received is more due to the holidays than due lack of enthusiam. I'll also assume that Warluster won't mind me doing this, because I haven't gotten reply of him yet.

    The aim of this writing group is to really systematically improve as aspiring writers. We will hold a meeting either once in one or once in two weeks. I will then post the previous assignment you pm'd me and post the new assignment.

    I will keep the people who signed up posted of changes but offcourse the assignments are not solely for people who signed up. When you see a fun assignment or a helpful one and you want to do it, go ahead.

    When you have made your assignment, it must be pm'd to me and I will post it in the Submission thread, after that critique can be given by other members and we will analyse the assignments.




    For all the people who want to join the group, this is their first "assigment". I want you to answer these questions:

    Favorite Genre:
    Favorite Writer:
    Favorite Book:
    Writing Experience:
    Strengths:
    Weaknesses:

    ah, yeah Eco is very good indeed, though i like his short stories better, the name of the rose is great, but hard to get through.

    I will keep this going till next friday, then i will post the threads and the first assignment. Howevcer people can still join fully or partially after that.
