Re: Now what?

I'd suggest going with the flow. Obviously people have a need to discuss garden questions, and who knows when or how a particular piece of information is going to prove useful down the road in something we write. Let's just have one list, and when we have writing-specific concerns, they will surface and we'll discuss them. And if we really want to know the best thing to do for voles, then that's fine too. The fact that people really jump in to discuss garden info issues suggests to me that these are really close to our heart and that these discussions serve our needs. Carolyn Ulrich

I wish someone could explain something. We have a perfectly good list
specifically for discussions of gardening created just for the members of
the garden writers list. So what happens? At least a third of the members
leave that list. THEN we get garden discussions on THIS list. The rose
discussion I could accept because it evolved out of a question concerning
material for an article. But now we get straight garden questions with no
prelude, nothing.
Has the GWL run it's course? Is it time to fold it up? I've been
moderating some of the members, but it's just not worth it when I still have
to keep reminding people that this list is for discussion of garden WRITING.
Aren't there any more questions about publishers, contracts, photos,
finding good editors, how to market yourself, catalog writing, speaking
engagements, new horticultural products, even news about the publishing
world, or...?
