Writing group?

I don’t know how many of you enjoy writing, but I really want to get motivated with my writing. I realized that part of what’s holding me back is no one ever asks me to see my writing and so I don’t show anyone, and so there’s nothing motivating me except myself. And while I’m good at motivating myself for the most part, I really want to write a lot more. So I was thinking - how about a writer’s community? A small, tight-knit, password protected group where you can post up your work and read and comment on other people’s work. It’d be like a Wordpress blog, and anyone who’s interested would be a user on the blog, and the entire blog would be closed off to non-registered users.

I really want writers who will be pretty active, posting up at least something maybe once a week or once ever week and a half, but really I just want people at all to post stuff. I also want to keep this really small so that it’s not overwhelming and so people aren’t so afraid to post. If you’ve always wanted to get motivated, the best way is to be part of a supportive community like the one I’m thinking about.

So, anybody interested? Let me know. If I get at least three or four people, I’m going to set it up. I’ve already got one person: Stephanie, but we’d love to get more people! Let me know in a comment if you’re interested, or if you know someone that might be interested.

Oh, also, any kind of writing would be awesome - journal entries, fiction, novels, poetry, etc. As long as it’s creative writing, it works.

1. This sounds wonderful! I’ve always wanted to be part of a writing group, but never knew how to go about creating one. I would love to be a part of this.
