I opened Writing and the Digital Life to discussion on Friday night and we had a hectic weekend as everyone introduced themselves and started talking. There was a rush of email for a while but now it's settling down to a steady pace. I've set up a del.icio.us site too, so that we can share bookmarks.
It's really exciting to be starting something from scratch like this. As I wrote to the list this morning:
...after years of working in highly-managed gardens, I like the idea of swimming in a cold clear stream of ideas. It may hit a few rocks, it may run dry, but for the moment this is how I'd like to do it and I hope you'll swim with me for a bit. Needless to say, the stream will also water future projects, but it's too early yet to know what they will be.
I'm really looking forward to this!
