For the year or so that I've been moderating the Sunday writing group I've kept it pretty simple, and I'm not intending to complicate things now. I do however want to offer something . . .

In both high school and college it was drilled into me that if I wanted to write anything, I had to have an outline. Even if I was writing a letter to my aunt, I should start with an outline; . . .

Having one of my articles rejected from a group is demoralizing, and for this reason I've made every attempt to send an email explanation to anyone I rejected from my groups.

Today, after keeping an ongoing spreadsheet of who commented on which of my articles, I'm going to stop. I'm choosing to view it as a useful exercise, but I think I have enough information. . . .

Just a place to say it
Where others sit and hear

Here is a suggestion:
Enable each user to put his or her best foot forward by featuring their own selected writings.
I often want to check out someone's writing, but going to their most recent . . .

The wallpaper was entertaining. Jack could just as happily have gone and looked at the pattern on the china, or gone out back in the dark and rummaged through the pebbles on the ground. But he was where . . .

Do you ever wish you could get away from the fighting, whining and putting-things-down that gets posted to Gather? There sure does seem to be a lot of it. The title notwithstanding, this is . . .

I'll keep this short.
I've been thinking about jazz music a lot for the last few months, and finally the article crystalized in my mind. It took me about 3 hours but I got it written down . . .

Briefly: I highly recommend you get all the editing on your article done *before* posting it to a moderated group.
One of the reasons your articles are being rejected by moderated groups . . .

The guidelines for the Sunday Writing group remain pretty simple, and even though I'm going to follow this with a longer discussion, it's simply this:

I grew up in a town of about 600 people. My dad wrote at least 30 and maybe as many as 80 or 100 letters to the editor. He told me that a long time back the editor of the paper . . .

There's a maxim out there that says, "If you don't toot your own horn, no one else is going to toot it for you." It could be argued that this is not the case, but it seems to me . . .

I am a singer songwriter who also loves to take frequent dips into the world of writing. I am so very appreciative of Gather because it gives me a ready platform for both of these pursuits. . . .

I'm humbled to be your host for the Sunday portion of Writing Essentials. This made my panic all the more visceral as I ran around Brainerd, Minnesota today looking for wi-fi locations, . . .

Every night I bore Janie to sleep. I don't read boring things; she's just more than happy to drift off while I'm reading whatever it is out loud. As a bonus I set aside a few minutes . . .
