Melissa, Join the group that you want to share your articles, after reading the different criteria, and determining which day (assuming you want "Writing Essentials") fits your needs the best. And then, to actually share your writing, go to your "My Gather" page, scroll down a little until you see your avatar (that little picture of you next to your posts), and underneath it, you have four choices of what to do. Can't remember the other three choices, but the first one is "Share." Click "Share," and then, if you still feel lost with the choices given there (for an article/post you want to click the first one), click the links for each that teaches you how to do it all. Now, truthfully, unless you have your articles tagged for any particular exercise, so your particular day's writers can find it, you might have problems getting critiqued at first, but, it won't take long for readers to find you eventually, and hopefully some writers. Then you really want to consider how you want to be critiqued, because most won't critique at all, unless you really add how you want it behind your name, (nicely, specifically, both barrels, etc. lol), but all that stuff is one of those things everyone learns the hard way (or easy way) depending on the group and the people showing up to see your article. And, since few actually come down to this part of this page often, you'll probably want to ask questions, when you have them, to the specific group you want to participate in, in the future. Good luck, and hope to see you around.

There are still problems today with some accepted posts not appearing in the list. I wrote to MaryAnne Flynn again this morning. If you submitted a writing related post that does not appear, please resubmit and I'll try again to accept it. I apologize for the inconvenience.

There have been publishing problems in the group today; accepted posts disappearing. I wrote to MaryAnne Flynn about the problem but haven't heard back yet. If anyone submitted a writing related post that didn't show up here, please submit it again.

A heads-up: In the above section "Who Are The WE Member Editors?", your link to Dame Ruth is actually taking us to St. Joy's page.

CC, I hope you consider allowing the Tuesday writers to inspire you to create some 'chair' or 'wonderland' artwork for the Wee WE group.

As a painter, I must say that I've really enjoyed seeing how writers took my artwork that I allowed Joy to use for the Saturday writing to different places. It has been a pleasure to see how my work can inspire creativity in others.

A writer talks about writing and muses and the creative process — an interesting talk, extremely well presented.
There is also a link to Amy Tam talking on creativity. Both are from the TED conference. Elizabeth Gilbert: A different way to think about creative genius |

Welcome Gather writers to the Writing Essential! The Writing Essential was created as a home for Gather writers of all levels, from beginners to advanced writers, to congregate and publish their work and receive constructive criticism, as well as to share their experiences and ask questions about the craft of writing. This Essential will host a dynamic and ever changing array of content and is unique from any other Essential on the site. Why? Because it is run by Gather members!
Each day, a different Gather member Writing Essentials Editor will moderate the group and feature work based on quality of writing and possibly a theme that the Editor has chosen. Our Member Editors come from diverse writing backgrounds, so one day you may find poetry as the feature theme. Another day, it might be personal memoirs. And the next day, it might be a mix of the best writing across all genres. The Writing Essential is a place for you to find familiar faces and discover new talent and friends with the same passion. We encourage you to publish your works of fiction (poetry, prose, plays, screenplays) and nonfiction (memoirs, interviews with other writers and published authors, and questions about the craft of writing and the pursuit of publishing). We look forward to reading your work and hearing about your experiences as a writer. Group Links
