As I've been traveling, I've enjoyed the relative luxury and freedom of being able to do most of my writing work through online correspondence and a writing forum. However, I acknowledge the limitations of conducting critiques and posting my own work for review in an open forum and I am sometimes frustrated by the lack of response or the superficial interest in review and critique. I guess I'm looking for a more hardcore experience, a more dedicated atmosphere that can really cultivate change and growth. That is part of the reason I am applying for a MFA programs, to maximize workshop exposure. But I feel that much of this could be obtained through an online writing or critique group.
So I will commence this effort as an experiment, to determine whether there are other like-minded writers out there interested in this kind of group. As with The Oddville Press, the correspondence and procedures were conducted entirely online and it worked fairly well for a while. I have opened a profile on GroupBox.com and will look to recruit others interested in this kind of participation.
