Writers' Block

This is a call to arms. A few of you have been privy to the "Ultra Mega Classic Writers' Workshop and Tea Room" rumors that have been circulating for years. The idea is simple. People get together, they decide on a given topic or style to write on, they take a month to write something, they get back together and share their writing and give feedback. It's like school without nuns. It's like a bookclub with a different kind of gayness. The beauty is that it can all be done over the world wide weeble these days. So you never have to look a critic in the face. Although the sharing of tea becomes more difficult with the technological disconnect.

If you think you would be interested in such an ultra mega classic forum, please comment on this post and let me know. I'm trying to get a head count to make sure this thing is even worth it. IT'S WORTH IT!

Peace, love, and sympathetic touches.

Do motions or intra-office memorandum count? I'm afraid that is all I'm capable of producing. Come to think, at this point, I can't remember ever being able to produce much else. Your so-called "failed schooling" in the post just previous to this one is an unwarranted pejorative. Had you not “failed” you’d have ended up a completely boring puddle of frustrations that is the fate of all law students: Lawyer.

G... I might be interested. If I can convince myself to get over the fear of sharing my writing. Then I'd be very interested.

I am interested, Business school or not. Creative love comes before homeworks! I am going to write lexical anthems; that crystallize your brain juices, make homies say “hey” and ladies go “eww-we”. This one is for the streets…
PS On second thought I am only in if lawyers that are named Andrew are out. From his post, he has confirmed that the once mighty Andy of the 90’s is dead. Dead as disco! Dead as Jim Hansen! Dead as ice pick in the ol ear hole. Dead Dead Dead.
That is all. Let’s drink some rose hips and wax prolific!

I would love to be in, if I felt like I could actually write up to your level! I just wanted to thank you again for all the time you took out of your day for us yesterday! You are the greatest!

Garred, I thought you were a good writer! Well I've been reading your blog and, well, yeah you are a good writer. It's high time you quit 3form. I've never written anything in my life, so if that qualifies me to be in the writing group I'd love to join. I'd really like the critique and suggestions rough and tough though. You know how I like it.
