Re: writing group

Well, since Kathy asked for everybody's input even if replies similar to

yours have already been made, I'll say this..........

I just wanted to let you know that I support of this Project. I am not sure

if I will participate though, as writing is not my forte. But otherwise, I

am all for it.

Take Care,

I would love to participate in a writing group. I

know that it might be mostly for catharsis and

self-healing, but one of my favorite things to do is

meta-analyses, where you read a bunch of research on a

subject and compare, contrast, draw conclusions. If

people think they would like this type of input, I

LOVE to do that kind of writing. I'm not much for

other types of writing, not very good at it, (though I

do enjoy writing children's stories).

Well, I'm glad I am not the only one. lol

I understand how this is different then an Assignment or Journal......it's

just that I am not good at putting my thoughts together as a whole. In my

own head, they are fine, but when I try and write them down, or tell them to

somebody they get all jumbled. lol

I'm not saying I won't participate at all, but it probably won't be very

often. I'll get a feel for it, and see if it something I can do, and I'll go

from there.

Sometimes our Minds can get the best of us, can't they? I hope your

situation has cleared up and the worry has left.

Take Care,

Brande
