Just give me a day or two to get over our big launch hangover! :) <br /><br />You are indeed correct. When we started Versal, our grasp of our task was unclear. We were doing what we were doing without knowing it. Articulating it came later. And community, well, it was where we started. And so we continue.<br /><br />Looking forward to reading your post, Marcus.Megan M Garrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177325304418811047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442854124012230891.post-842383292716432212012-05-21T09:43:19.821+02:002012-05-21T09:43:19.821+02:00Thanks for this!

What I take from it, too, especially from the two weird letters at the start, is how much more important the community aspect of writing has become over the past 10 years. The fringe is now larger than the centre, and the centre moves all the time. I'm interested in issues of writing identity you touch upon, including the aspect of being a woman writer (gender being a digitally concealable entity)—this last aspect escaped me in a post I just wrote on "<a href="http://blog.marcusspeh.com/?p=7202" rel="nofollow">How is the Internet changing the way you write</a>". Perhaps you'd like to participate in the discussion?Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161684468714673546noreply@blogger.com
