Being in another country and working full-time, I feel like I hardly have time to write. This tribe is my invitation for you to send, share your writing with me...in small chunks.

I used to have a creative writing teacher who made us write 2 pages only (double spaced). At first, I saw it as constricting...hardly worth the effort...But then, because my writing group was so great, we all had amazing results!

I would like to start another group where we really read, review each other's work, and comment based on positive feedback...and not subjectively negative, critiques. I feel this only halts creativity...it doesn't enhance or invite it to come, especially if a piece is in its beginning, very raw and tender stages. Harsh "look how much I know" criticism will only silence good writing in the beginning stages.

I'll post an exercise a week...and once you are included in the group...you can have a whole network of people to share with and help hone their skills. Please contact me with comments on my own writing exercise, and your own writing (please only write one whole page...single spaced...or less).

Cheers!

Shannon
