[stylist] Writer's project

Sun Oct 28 21:57:40 UTC 2012

Eve,
I think it’s a great idea, but lets do it on something other than facebook! 
Something more easy to use. For instance a form.
Another idea is simply communicating the lessons via the conference calls. 
This sounds best. Its much easier to communicate teaching in person to 
person talk versus something online. That enables people to ask questions to 
the instructor
and discuss tips, strengths and weaknesses of writing.
Also, as Robert said, the text of the lesson could be put on the website. 
That would be the best of both ideas; having a written form and a 
discussion/lecture via phone.
The handouts could be anything the instructor wished; I'd suggest a summary 
of the lesson. Then a worksheet or prompt to practice what we learned.

Given that some people say they are not tech savvy, I don't think facebook 
would work too well.

Writers, Another suggestion by one member has been to take this to FB. I
myself am not proficient in FB and struggle enough with all of the groups I
do belong to. I do learn a lot on these groups though and often use what I
learn in my writing projects along with the fact that I know I have a
constant source for information and my finger tips as there are others with
the same interests in those groups. I do think this is a good idea though
different that this project for our list. I would love it if someone who is
good with FB would want to start something like this that we could all join
if we wish. There could never be too many sources for us to learn from. I
do know that there are many of us who have difficulty navigating FB, but I
have also heard of blind individuals who have an easier time on FB than
they do getting through their emails. Any takers. It could turn out huge
and just needs a start up. Eve
