On Creative Writing

I've been enjoying discussing "On Creative Writing" with fine folks, worldwide! Lots of fabulous things going on at present in the creating, and discussing, of Creative Writing, from lots of folks. Lots of gaps of course - some folks haven't been involved, or simply don't want to be. Those voices will be heard now and then. And so they should be! Personally, I'm looking forward to more fabulous work emerging. . .
