I don't even really blame him tbh, he was clearly busier than me and giving feedback can be much more daunting than receiving it. but it can't be relied upon. I need to get on with writing

The lesson here is not to depend on anybody for feedback
Ask, accept, but don't depend. There's a reason teachers are paid to do this sort of thing. It's work.

The board actually already exists, 77-style. It's just that no-one's been invited to it. If enough people post here and put their hands up I'll happily invite them. Going to keep it private though I think.

I returned to the 3.5 chapters I wrote a few months ago and found that (with a couple of minor tweaks) I really liked them, which was a nice surprise as I've been in a sort of stymied hibernation for ages, doubting whether this is anything at all. I guess I'll proceed

i hate writing but i love talking about process, or like particularly listening to good writers (who a lot of people here are good writers) talking about process. but hardly anybody seems to do it :(

Should be an I Love Posting board where we really “go deep” on our posting process, offer posting tips and critique on posts in progress, then maybe all the posts wouldn’t be so bad
