travellers drift & what’s coming up
It seems to me i promised to talk more about e-communities, though i’m not sure why i promised that… it’d probably be easier to go back & edit the earlier post. now that i’ve figured out how, rather than come up with a whole new few coherent paragraphs, and, easy way is not always the best way…
I got my feet wet on msn groups, joining the local Richmond Writers Group online, then starting a Mothers Writing group. When msn decided to fold up it’s groups section, neither of these groups decided to migrate to new platforms. It was very useful in terms of learning e-ettiquette, or netiquette, but the specific conversations were felt to be finished, by the participants themselves. RWG has a page on facebook, now, and I run a yahoogroup for aboriginal women writers, called Storytellers Play Space, which has a few of the MW participants, and other voices as well.
I have a strong startle reflex, and I’m easily distractable, so I’ve never got into “chat” or other msn options that some find so alluring.
I’m really looking forward to a visit to Ottawa, in early June. But that’s not my main reason for writing today.
My main reason for writing today, my enthusiasm, the primary moving force behind these words, is this: I’ve just read the unedited proofs for the forthcoming Kegedonce anthology, W’daube awae = Speaking True (Spring 2010)… ooh la la!
What a gorgeous feast awaits!
