I don't have a car, but I can certainly walk down and meet you guys at Gardener's Candies in Tyrone. That would be fun. Email me when your plans firm up.

But writing about writing is actually something I've tended to be quite wary of; it requires -- and promotes -- a very different frame of mind from true creative writing for me.

The only way I do chain-letter-type exercises is on Facebook, and then rarely. I am a stick in the mud that way (O.K., most ways). Thanks for all the flattering things you said about me, though.

I don't have consistent accessibility to the Net right now so it'll be awhile until I can really explore...but I was excited to see what's happening there. My daughter loves Ravelry and I have been wondering where to find something like that for me (when I have the opportunity)! Thanks to you and all for the efforts! I'll be up your way mid-month to help her move, and taking her for a chocolate experience to celebrate her transition to grad school. Perhaps we can meet up? I checked out RWP and love the changes.

I think you're right about growth not being a necessary goal for an Internet group. Every community that grows beyond some certain size develops trolls and an unfortunate signal-to-noise ratio. I think your purposes and activities mesh more productively with this medium than those of other social networking sites, such as Ravelry, which I found, um, disappointing. If you're writing about knitting, you're not knitting, but if you're writing about writing.... Interesting site! I think you’re right about growth not being a necessary goal for an Internet group.

There are already huge poetry sites out there. We don't need to be that. We need to, want to, build a deeply engaged community. One that rocks. Maybe we'll finish the poem today. The hangup is on my end. We’d rather be Identi.ca than Twitter in the end, if that analogy makes any sense. There are already huge poetry sites out there. We don’t need to be that.
