  • we should at least try and make a writing group, association, organization.  Given there are so few of us, and the group is online, that would be relatively simple, right? :/  Currrently the only avenues of writing workshop available to us are secular groups, Christian groups (that look down on CAtholicism), and the CWG, which may or may not prefer your brand of traditionalism.  

    I am a Catholic historical fiction aspirant, I know of at least two other writers who are science fiction buffs, another who is an action/drama writer, and there are more.  But we are all disparate, hoping to make it on our own.  There is strength in numbers.  

    While traditionalcatholicnovels.com seems to be attempting to spread the word about acceptable literature from traditional Catholics, for aspiring writers like myself and perhaps you, there isn't anything out there in the way of peer support or guidance.  

    What do you think? Should we start something?  Even if it is a co-authored blog (not to publish our writing), it seems like trad writers need a separate space where others can see what they are trying to do, why they want to do it, etc. and where we writers can have a meeting of the minds.

  • That's exactly what www.bravsindex.com is for - gathering together and promoting Traditional Catholic authors and illustrators and such. Mind you, its for authors who aren't expecting to see money and who have finished works.

    Brav's Index is just the tip of the iceberg - I first belonged to an existing Traditional Catholic Writing group that offers peer review from other Traditional Catholic writers. You can contact Nicholas Wansbutter through his blog www.swordsandspace.com/ if you're interested in checking it out.

    You have friends in this endeavor and websites already in place should you want them.

    Many prayers for your endeavors!
