Writing Group in Seoul?

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?

  5. gordsellar says:

    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!
