Comments for Susquehanna Valley Independent Writers http://sviw.wordpress.com ...a support group Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:47:50 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on About by mikebadger http://sviw.wordpress.com/about/#comment-157 mikebadger Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:47:50 +0000 #comment-157 Hi Susan, Thank you for the question. The group started out as a good idea, but we ultimately did not have the momentum to keep the group meeting on a regular basis. We disbanded about a year ago. I've since moved closer to Williamsport and have been thinking of forming a similar group. The SVIW was a free write group. A few writers met and we wrote based on a couple of prompts. We read our work aloud, if we wanted to. The big rule was - no critique. Just write, experiment with words, and enjoy the company of other writers. Would you be interested in this type of group? Mike Hi Susan,

Would you be interested in this type of group?

I'm a published non-fiction author trying to finish my novel. I am looking for a supportive writer's group to join. Can you let me know the specifics of meetings for the new year, and if you are open to new members? Thank you! Hi! I’m a published non-fiction author trying to finish my novel.

]]> Comment on The Vocabula Well-Written Writing Contest by mikebadger http://sviw.wordpress.com/2007/09/03/the-vocabula-well-written-writing-contest/#comment-41 mikebadger Tue, 04 Sep 2007 16:24:15 +0000 http://sviw.wordpress.com/2007/09/03/the-vocabula-well-written-writing-contest/#comment-41 I like the idea of using the contest to "sharpen our focus." My first experience with a writing contest was with a vanity press. That, unfortunately, jaded my view on contests enough that I have not been able to convince myself to enter more contests, even free ones. I'm in therapy now. We meet every other Thursday.
