Judy, how about creative writing for your focus? Didn't you used to teach it? How many average janes and joes have you met who seem to think they're capable of turning out the next best selling novel? I bet it could be a HIT!

Tink,

That's a thought....it's a lot of work though, unless I don't have to proof everybody's writing. It would have to be a group where everyone assesses everyone else's work. I could give one exercise/week or 2 weeks, have a feedback period.....

Like I said, it's a thought - a good one, actually.

Journal writing is also something people like to do and share, and involves no proofreading, editing, or real teaching. Then, we could publish each journal online or something.

Thanks!

Judy, I wonder if you could just provide a place for people to submit their original work and let them critique each other. Keep your own participation other than the administrative tasks very minimal so the site could pretty much run itself; and have pages of tips and education on how to write effectively; again, as instruction that they could access to get more page views.

I bet you could make it work if you chose to.
