I just split the Writing Clinic into two separate forums. The subforums inside the Clinic were starting to take over the world and I wanted to add more, so I split it to make it more organized. Now we have:
Writing Clinic: Inspiration For writing ideas, planning, tips, tricks, guides... everything leading up to the writing itself. Challenges and exercises are found here, as well, because they are meant to test your skill and improve you.
Writing Clinic: Editing For revision, reviews, and concrit. This is where your writing goes when you're ready to attack it, tear it apart, and put it back together in a better form. It's very important in this forum to include the genre of your piece in its topic description to help other members decide what to review.
With this new arrangement, I'm going to start enforcing the difference between the Clinic and the Gallery. If your piece is mostly done and you're just looking for general feedback and advice, it belongs in the Gallery. If you already know your piece is going to be greatly revised and you're looking for concrit and tips on what needs improvement when you go through editing, it belongs in the Editing Clinic. I'm moving a couple pieces, but I will PM you to let you know if I've moved yours.
It's coming up on the end of the month, just a handful of days left! I'll be moving into the dorms (technically) tomorrow (I haven't gone to sleep yet, but it's past midnight, so Saturday counts as tomorrow right?). I won't have hours daily to devote to this site, but I'll still have plenty of time, so you shouldn't expect much change except that I'll have less time to waste fruitlessly advertising. I've been trying to continually add content to give everyone something to reply to, something to do, but I can't do everything. I'm hoping you guys will enter challenges and respond to exercises. And start your own! I'd love to do some myself, but I can't very well enter my own challenges! =P
Also, as a special note, the zine Alicia and rhinovirus (Rebecca) have been planning has hit a major milestone -- it has a name! So I'm sure that it will quickly pick up speed in its creation, and hopefully it will premiere soon.
