My first experience into the world of on-line fiction writing classes is coming to an end with only about a week to go. I submitted my short story, again, with revisions, and will even give it another going-over based on the latest advice from the instructor and my classmates. Then I hope to find a home for it beyond my computer. But that’s too scary to talk about right now. I’m ready to be done, I want to be done, so I can concentrate on my own projects without having to check into class everyday.

For those of you interested, here are links for on-line writing classes. Please let me know of any others so I can add them to this list.

From the front page:

The Relief Writers Network is a community site dedicated to fostering relationships amongst Christian writers who are seeking more artistic freedom to express both reality and the truth of Christ. It is the vision of the RWN to be an incubator for writers of all levels to come together and sharpen their craft through Critique and Discussion Groups, Forums, and Blogs.

This could be just thing I’ve been looking for: a critique group. Once of the most important things I’ve learned from my writing class is how important it is to get input from other writers. My search for such a group off-line has been frustrating — there is nothing here in my neck of the writer’s woods — and I’m not ready to start a group myself. So perhaps I’ll join up with Relief.

It’s no joke — good advice from Ann Kroeker is here.
