Hi,
First of all, I have to say, I am honored to have so many posts to a thread with my
name in the subject (bows deeply).
Secondly, I followed Pieter's suggestion and looked around on yahoo groups, and
found a group called "travelwriting2"
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/travelwriting2/
I guess we have several choices, we can just join in with them, or we can break free
of our bonds and form our own group!!! (think of it) :P
Ok, I'm getting facetious a bit.
I think it would be mucho cool. Personally, I'd be interested in a travel writing list
(actually, I'd be interested in a list about walking/biking/nonmotorized travel writing,
but that might be too specific).
For the heck of it and to get the ball rolling, I went ahead an made a group:
Follow this arrow: --->
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theramble/
You can join and we can get writing!!!!
