A couple of other notes in this group have caused me to finally get it through my thick head that a number of people on this group are actually a) trying to become SF writers or b) actually ARE SF writers. As a member of group a, I've got an idea that I'd been kicking around for a while, maybe its time has come: how about an SF writer's group? I can see two ways this could be done: as a sub-newsgroup (say net. sf-lovers.ww, for writer's workshop) or as a mailing list/digest, a la the New Age Digest (I know there are others, but I'm not up on what they are.) Anyway, if it were to be a mailing list, I suppose I could moderate, if only to get useful criticism for my own stuff. I'd just as druther have it be a news group, though. How about it? (Steve, wanna be a Pet Pro for this? If you've put off sleeping this long, you don't really need the sleep anyway!) -- Charlie Martin (...mcnc!duke!crm)

I'm in a writer's group already, and I consider myself the weakest critic of the group. Criticising (sp?) is as difficult for me as writing, and not as rewarding. I think that for everything I said that helped, I would say two or three things that damaged the manuscript in question. Thanks for asking, though. -- SKZB
