Hi everybody, welcome to the brand new Cambridge Writer's Guild website. We hope you enjoy this new resource, and help us to build this into a really great online community.
An explanation of the various pages might be helpful. The events and information pages are fairly self explanatory - its where we will tell you about discussion groups, open mics and other events, and where we will tell you all about cwg and what we do. The writing page is empty at the moment, because it is waiting to be filled up with your work! If you ever write anything you want other people to see, just send it to us (you can send it anonymously if you like) and we will put it up for all to see.
The Wall. The idea is to have a weblog that anyone can update, edit and mess around with. If you log on to Blogger with the username "cwgwall" and the password "underquill", click The Wall and click new post, you can add to the website at will. I hope things such as collaborative epic poetry, stories, random thoughts and other creative nonesense will emerge, and possibly be printed on paper later in the year if things get good enough.
The forum is very new, but fairly easy to use. Just register and start posting in the various boards. We will be reading the boards ourselves, so if anything is missing in your opinion, or you have something else to say or request about this site, please let us know. The essence of a good website like this is communication between users and developers - so dont be afraid to tell us we suck, if you think we suck.
Finally, this page (home) will act as the CWG weblog. Much of what we talk about will appear on the CWG email list (email cambridgewritersguild@yahoo.co.uk to join) but we will also be putting up recordings of open mics and prose as a podcast, writing our own thoughts and observations and all manner of things. If you want to subscribe to the CWG RSS Feed or Podcast, just use the little orange button at the top of the page.
Thanks for reading so far down the page! Have a sweet for your trouble. We will write more soon.
And so should you.
Love
CWG
