A Space to publish, rant, rave, and dream.
The Ohio University Appalachian Writing Project maintains a website (click here) to share information about who we are and the various writing-related activities we sponsor.
Recently, we decided it might be fruitful to have a web space that offers our teacher/writers room to share the writing they have been working on. Furthermore, we came to the conclusion that it would be useful to have web space available for comments, concerns, and community.
This is it. Use this space to publish whatever you want. Use this space to tell us and each other what's going on in your life. While each summer we will continue to give our new project participants a specific blog site dedicated to their individual programs, the purpose of this particular blog space is for you to make your words available to the world. Use this space both to publish your writing and to help us keep our writing community thriving.
Please feel free to use this web space to publish anything you've been writing and to pass along ideas, inspirations, and inklings. Also, as you read each other's work, feel free to give our fellow writers feedback and support.
I'm looking forward to reading what you come up with. . . okay, writers, go for it!

How to Join In!
Anyone can comment, but due to Uncle Google's Rules for setting up a blog, I have to accept you as an author in order to post.
That's no problem, really. Just email me (don@dudding.net) your email address, and I'll email you the request to join this forum as an author. That's all it takes. Really. No fine print commitment here, I just need you to send me your request.
Thanks,

(Okay, I've only been Dr. Don for a week and half. Give me a month, and I'll go back to being just Don).
