As We Begin

This Blog is for the use, support and kicking-up-the-bumness of any writers who feel they should like to have that!

It's also for any who would be happy to administer that!

If you would like to post pieces for critique; thrash out an idea which keeps slipping away from you; seek endings, beginnings, middles; try out ideas on a supportive audience; or just talk about what you are writing/would like to be writing/should be writing. If there's anything else a friendly group of people who like to play with words might be able to support you in, which I haven't mentioned here, speak up.

Whatever each of us needs to get the story out of our heads and onto the paper!

Let's do it!!
