This is a start for what I hope will become a section.
The Online magazine stopped some time ago (Autumn 2010) and maybe the budding authors among us have no outlet. Writing in a vacuum with no audience is a bit sad, and waiting for somebody to notice your Twitter post or for somebody to find your stuff on google or Bing can be dispriting so this will be a way for us to share our own efforts. The intention would be to make it open to search engines (more cousin bait?).
I'm not suggesting that we all comment or critique each other's work, I hung up my red pens years ago and have no intention of starting again, but just an area to pull together writing tips, ideas and share our work wherever it might be. Another member's writing might give you an idea that you could use for yourself. We can help each other with using the blog on this site, and with other platforms we use.
Paul's thread on writing your family history, Writing your Family History, is getting more visited now and the 52Ancestors thread is growing rapidly and we will lose it all, so bear with me and I will sort out a special board and then reorganise the posts from those threads to create new ones and also any similar old ones I can find.
Please, do contribute links you come across to start off the advice.
