Caroline's thread in the private members forum got me thinking...we used to have a very lively group for those of us who teach creative writing/run workshops/etc and it ran out of steam a while back...partly, I suspect, because everyone on it got too busy all about the same time. I'm wondering, do people feel they've like this group or one similar to be revived? If you're a CW teacher/tutor/lecturer/reader/Fellow/writer in residence, run the odd workshop or anything on this spectrum and you'd like a group specifically to discuss strategies, plan sessions, swap great exercises and suggestions or even just feedback from a terrible/wonderful/perplexing session/lesson, post here...
thanks
Anna

Anna, I really would like something like that but would prefer it to be a closed forum and I know that doesn't really work with the groups. I wouldn;t want my posts to be open to anyone to view. That's the only reason I didn;t suggest reviving it...

Yes, I agree with Caroline - it would be great, but it's hard to have a really useful discussion unless you can be confident that it's only among the group itself.

I totally agree that a closed forum would be the best idea. Is that possible?

Am debating it now with webmaster David! We have done this before, I'm sure... do you mean closed as in, only members of that group could view posts/make posts?

Yes...I work in a school and wouldn't want any of my comments to appear publicly. Fingers crossed!

Same here. That would be wonderful Anna, if it could be arranged.

I would be interested but what I've found is that I don't often have time to visit the group. But if one's formed, I would certainly like to join because there's nothing similar around as far as I know.

Well, I've proposed a group and if you'd all like to follow me here and join, we will be go! It will be a closed group so no worries there.

Hurray! Thanks so much Anna. It will be completely private, yes?

I've just checked and, yes, all posts will only be visible to actual group members.

Go WW Teachers!
