    Is Write Club active any more? I mean I know it's there, I just posted but there hasn't been a post for months and months before that so wondering if I am wasting my time posting there for feedback?

    Is Pickarooney not round these parts these days?

    Can't help you with your questions, but I love the idea of a writing club. Would love to hear if you get anywhere with answers :)

    Pickarooney a community cannot make. No active users no Community.

    I know I stopped coming here. I used to be very much involved in online writing groups, but a lot less active now. I used to love offering constructive criticism and even putting up my own writing. My lifestyle has changed somewhat :(

    I would've loved to continue with Write Club but interest seemed to wane after a week or so. I'm guessing people got too busy with life.

    Such a shame. Perhaps we could create a poll to see if there would be a couple of folks interested.

    It's still there. People just have to start posting again.

    There's been only 1 post in the last six months! :eek:

    You used to contact Pickarooney and he'd put you in -it's basically a place where you can post privately and get criticism or feedback...

    If you were composing a story for a competition that wanted unpublished pieces only then it is great to post there.

    How about you set up a new one hcass? Maybe we can rekindle the interest :)

    Could we not just keep the old one going?

    I just posted in Write Club - Pickarooney is Mod there so if anyone wants to join give him a PM.

    I'd love it all kickstarted again - it seems to have a bit with the new Writing Prompt Thread which was an inspired idea.
