I've done some stuff with Behind Our Eyes. They have a bi-annual publication called Magnets and Ladders. You may want to check them out.Shawn

  I am not interested in reviving the group, but I am interested in a critique group and relaxed general writing topic/as it relates to challenges for blind writers chat.

Dave NEVER shuts email lists down! There are some been  dead for years they still just sitting there so since it's still here why not use it. I know that it is more than one's life is worth to be critical ofthe Great and Mighty NFB but I must say  seems more than a little arbitrary to me. We can start OUR OWN writers Group.

I also never received the email and I'm sorry to hear it shut down. This list was very helpful in 2011 when I first started writing. I appreciate the contributions from everyone and found the prompts (around 2011-17) to be very helpful with people giving each other muual feedback about their writing. Also the youth writers' workshops before that.

Hm. I am surprised this email list is still up. I made the assumption it was shut down a few months ago after Shelly made the announcement.

If anyone wants to keep in touch with me, my email is anniecms64 at gmail.com.

Also, Behind Our Eyes www.behindoureyes.org is a thriving writing group. Membership is free and we have so much to share and activities to share. It is an independent 501 C3.

I had no idea that the writers division was dissolved. Can you share what led to this and what could be done to resurrect it?

Best,

Kevin
