Following from the new Dayshift thread in the Convo, it seems there's a few London or near-London writers who might be up for workshopping.
I propose two things - an initial day-long blowout, in the vein of the popular BarCamp geek UnConferences, with the focus of the day being Milford rules workshopping of participants work. One of the defining factors of a BarCamp is that to attend, you have to bring something to the meet, i.e. chair a discussion, run a workshop. Let's not kid ourselves, this might be hard to organise, very hard to schedule, and may suffer from lack of turnout first time round, but I figure, what the hey, if I don't propose it, it'll never happen. We can put together a BarbeWriteCamp wiki page and get a defined list of people coming, then thrash out the format of the day and what people want to contribute.
Then we just turn up, eat pizza and drink beer and talk about our stories. w000t!
Second, I figure we build on the success of the initial BarbeWriteCamp and have monthly/whenever we can all get it together evening Milford workshops to look at each of our latest stories. Every six months or so we can have another big BarbeWriteCamp. Or more often, if people are up for it.
So, if people are interested, say yay! I shall start the wiki page directly - I'm figuring we go for the first one sometime in October (I'm away all September, and I figure people will need cheering up in October when the nights start drawing in). |
