As much as post-Bucknell life has its perks, many of us have already found that it also hinders our time to write. Furthermore, many of you have voiced that you miss being a part of a community of writers. Honestly, I can't help but feel the same way. There's something so awesome about a creative writing workshop where your writing could be shared and nurtured in a supportive and friendly atmosphere.
So, here's what I've been thinking: why don't we start our own post-grad community of writers? For those of you who still want to write, perhaps we can share writing exercises and workshop each other's poems or prose. Even if you're applying for jobs or grad school, hell, I don't see why we couldn't offer feedback on each other's cover letters. Whatever the group needs, someone could certainly come forward to provide it, because that's the kind of people we are, anyway: creative like that.
Of course, you all would be able to participate as little or as much as you would like to -- it is all up to you. Forum-wise, I think that blog/website with an option for private forums would be our best bet, but I am totally up for suggestions, hence this e-mail. Hit reply-all with your ideas, and, hell, update us on your life while you're at it. Oh, and if you know other people that I missed who would be interested in this group as well, feel free to forward this e-mail to them and send me their address.
Thanks so much.
Best,
