Actually I don’t even have a message board. Not one in my office that is. What I do have is a writer’s forum space at I Hate My Message Board, a site that belongs to my good friend Tracy O’Connor. Tracy and I have been putting our little ol’ heads together ever since my post on writer’s forums. In that post I had let folks know that I started a group over at my facebook account. Tracy emailed me and suggested that she had an established forum site and generously offered space there to let the Tumblemoose clan and others hash out writing topics.
So I went there and spent some time kinda lurking around and here’s what I found:
An audience that is active and engaged. Forum members who speak their minds but don’t thrash about and are not into mud slinging.
A week or so back, Tracy and I set up the Writer’s section and started a few threads. Here is what I discovered:
There is a large community of “closet writers” who voiced some clear opinions, fears and successes about their writing. The welcome was warm, genuine and friendly.
So, I was sold. This is exactly the kind of community that I want to be a part of my writing life. There is great opportunity here. Opportunity to continue comment discussions or put out topics that you may not necessarily want to blog about.
Please, consider this an open invitation to head on over and have a look for yourself. I think you’ll like what you see. Join up, start a thread, reply to topics already running full bore.
George I’m so excited and happy that we are able to work on this together. I think that idea that thrills me most is the concept of more seasoned writers lending a hand and sympathetic ear to those starting out. On the flip side, I think that being around people experiencing the thrill of discovering that they are indeed writers will be a refreshing jolt to posters that have already experienced some success.
I encourage everyone to go and check it out. Feel free to dive right in and start a thread or if you’d prefer to lurk and get a feel for things, that’s fine, too. Our concept is something like a coffee shop for writers – you can come in and get a quick cup or stay and linger and join in any or all of the conversations taking place. When you come back tomorrow the gang will be there ready to pick up where you left off.
As George said, the writer’s forum is a part of the IHMMB forums. Feel free to take a look around the other forums!

George & Tracy:
I will definitely go over and at least lurk around for a bit. I am very much a beginner writer and would like to learn and share just grab a coffee. Thanks for the open invite.
