I’d love to join! I write for a living, working in marketing communications, but have come to a place where I’m frustrated with it all and think that 2010 might be the year to challenge myself to do something more personal – and terrifying!

Look forward to hearing more about it….

This sounds like a great idea.
My teenager has written two novels and is really keen to be a professional writer.
We have two friends who are writers and they say it’s very tough out there at the moment so this really is spot on in timing.

I like the idea, I think it's great and will really take off. My area of 'expertise' is non-fiction writing but I would love to try fiction writing. I'd be quite nervous about posting it on the internet but would love the idea of posting it under a different name or even anonymously. I wonder what you thought about this? .-= Rosie Scribble´s last blog ..Scribble Vs Beaufoix Wars =-.

Count me in. Sounds perfect for us lonely writers who need a bit of feedback other than “Don’t like that idea, try another” from various editors! Just a thought – but there’s a great book I read last year – a true story about a group of women who got together through an advert in 1935 and created a writing magazine that continued until their various deaths 50 years later. It was called the Cooperative Correspondence Club and they would each contribute a piece then send it on to the next, and so on, all by post, through marriages, divorces, children, the war. An amazing story of female solidarity and creative companionship. It’s called Can Any Mother Help Me, by Jenna Bailey. Can any mother help me was the wording of the ad the first woman first put in because she was isolated and lonely. You could be starting the new cyber CCC club…

I'm definitely in. One of my aims this year is to start my book, and a couple of nights ago as I was drifing off, an idea popped into my head. Miraculously I remembers it the next morning and I have actually written a first paragraph that I am pleased with, so will be cracking on with that this year. .-= Ang (A Mum's survival guide)´s last blog ..Moroccan Chickpea Soup =-.
