I didn’t mean to post again so soon, but I have two recommendations for anyone looking for a blogging community of/for writers.
1. Communati- it’s basically a copy of my favorite (now extinct) blogging community which was called Writing Up. WU was packed with freelance writers and a few fiction writers as well. Communati uses the same easy template, and is starting out with a core group of bloggers who were displaced by the demise of WU. The upside is that more people are exposed to your writing as a result of each post going onto the main page as it’s posted. The downside is that you can’t decorate around your posts or choose colors. Lets just say that when WU was live, that was where I made most of my AdSense profits. I can see this site doing the same for me.
2. WritingDown- this is a MySpace group that was originally made to house those of us who were displaced by Writing Up’s demise. It’s begun to grow into a nice group atmosphere for all writers, though seems to lean more toward fiction writers. There are some great people on there, as well as an ongoing round robin type of story. Good for participation and discussions as opposed to standard post/comment interaction. If the link doesn’t work, just go to MySpace, then to Groups, and then search for WritingDown.
