You said: “Role-play your characters” & “Your avatar can do in this virtual world just about anything a person can do in the real world. I myself find that playing as a horde character in the game World of Warcraft allows me to get out of my boxed in thinking and soon creativity abounds.

Great advice! Its amazing when you look back at old work and realise how much you’ve improved when you really get involved in making yourself a better writer. I personally find attending writing groups and getting feedback from other writers the most rewarding practice. Thanks again

Hey dat ting! Thanks for writing! I think you’d like this blogging class. When the pups are older and calmer (ha-ha), check it out. Here’s the SLURL for Kitviel’s home base (The Learning Experience): http://slurl.com/secondlife/Akamu%20Cove/164/116/26

fuzzyd20: Thanks very much for your comment and for adding that perspective about the large writing groups. I definitely agree with you there and am hoping to organize smaller peer support/critique groups that will be more useful. I have found groups so large that they’re almost useless, and I suspected that it was because they grew too big.

I was trying and trying to think of ways that SL would benefit the writer’s community. Your list is great! I didn’t even know they had a blogging class. I would like to go to that one day when I don’t have 6 little critters to run after

A well considered perspective. It certainly is a great networking resource and continues to become more useful all the time. I personally use it whenever I can although it seems many of the writing groups have become so popular that they are now not nearly so helpful as they used to be. Keeping it a bit smaller and connected gets a lot more useful feedback between people who know each other and have a stronger mutual respect.
