I couldn’t find one. And I looked, believe me.
I’ve produced so much fiction that I’m leery to share it all with the one crit group I have, my Clarion West classmates. So I was thinking I could get a secondary group, a local writing group I could join maybe.
Turns out, at least from googling, no such thing exists.
If anyone’s interested, and cool with genre fiction, I’m interested, and cool with non-genre (whatever that means). Drop me a line. I was thinking meetings every 2-3 weeks, maybe.
Have you looked into Critters or OWW? Both are online:
http://www.critters.org/
http://sff.onlinewritingworkshop.com/
I know some members of our class have had stuff critiqued by both groups. You can check with them to see what they thought.
I wish I had your problem. I’ve got three writing groups and not enough fiction to share with them!
Tinatsu:
Yeah, but I want time away from my PC, with real people. There’s something energizing about being face to face with other Sysyphuses (Sysyphi? Sysiphyiae?), don’tcha find?
Caroline:
*grin* If I posted everything I’ve written/detrunked in the last few weeks, you guys would be booting me. It’s something like 6 or 7 stories. Okay, 5 of them flash, but still.
Gord,
have you tried posting on daves or galbijim?
I haven’t. I would never post on Dave’s as the people who hang out there scare me. Galbijim might not be a bad idea, though.
Gord, you and I have very different interests, but I just wanted to tell you that I find your commitment to writing to be admirable and inspiring. Thank you!
A friend of mine has expressed the same problem! She is Korean American, writes in English, and lives in Seoul…let me see if I can refer her here to your website!
Nathan: Thanks. :)
Christine: Cool, do so. Pass on my email address to her.
By the way, I’ve been meaning to review a certain article I read in the way from Australia to Korea. I flew Singapore Air, and there was a magazine called Asia! and in it, a fine article titled “The Writing Cage” which reminded me a lot of my experiences at Clarion West.
Small world, huh? Good article, Christine!
