[stylist] writer or write not

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

In the past, people were asked by board members, or volunteered, to write up
a more formal-like post about a subject or book that could potentially spark
discussion. I recall that I did one about creative nonfiction a few years
ago. We even once played with the idea of book discussions where a book was
assigned, and after a month or so, we would have an online discussion about
it. Perhaps these are ideas that would be writing-related and afford the
list some back-and-forth communication that could be more constructive, and
allow those strictly wanting writing-related threads to have such an outlet.

And for what it's worth, I personally have never had a problem with any
discussion on Stylist, but as I've stated before, it would also be nice to
have more writing-based post and discussions. Creating an entirely separate
listserve seems a bit much in my opinion, so perhaps creating a more formal
and consistent and constructive thread, as I mention above, will help curb
some of the off-topic discussions and give us an outlet for discussing
writing along with learning about one another at the same time without the
need for a separate list.

I think talk about writing is good and there is talk about writing here. I
think those people who would like to see more should bring more topics to
the table. I have given resources. I have asked for resources. I have shared
tips that help me learn more bout my characters, ETC, and things I do during
writing that helps and others have done the same in some topics I started
such as music with writing. When you start a topic people respond. Sometimes
you get more responses than others, but I've always at least gotten one in
most cases. So as I say on all groups I'm on, be they chat or writing/RP
games, if someone has a gripe with the group, I advise being a p[aart of
actively changing it. And in this case it would be to bring more writing
topics to the board. We'll talk about them.
Just my hopefully helpful suggestion.
