Wait until next year

The recent post about my fiction-writing exploits attracted a series of comments that have led to an informal writing/writers group of sorts being discussed and (kind of) formed. I won’t give it too fancy a name, as at the moment it looks very much like three people emailing each other with their stories, and feeding back accordingly.

So, do you write fiction? And do you fancy joining us?

If so, please leave a comment below, and I’ll add you to the first email, which I plan to send out later this week.

These probably go without saying, but I think it wise to start this enterprise according to the following principles:

1. Each member contributes both their own fiction and feedback on others’ work.

2. No sharing of other people’s work outside the email group.

3. This isn’t a big, heavy deal for anyone.

4. Be nice.

Anyway, it could be a fun activity, or failing that, an opportunity to laugh at my attempts at short story writing. I hope some of you join up.
