An Introduction

Though the Cornerstone University English Society was not very active during the last school year, we hope to change that during the coming 2006-2007 school year. Currently, the society plans to host holiday readings on CU's campus and to offer a weekly writing group.

During these summer months the society would like to connect individuals who would be interested in the English Society writing group through this blog. The blog provides an opportunity for aspiring authors to share their work, ideas or inspiration with other authors. All interested participants may post short stories, book reviews or any other thought provoking entries they would like and will be able to recieve comments from their fellow writers.

I am very excited about this blog and the many possibilities that it has to offer. Though there is one thing missing: a good title. The CU English Society Writing Group is both wordy and boring. Through the months of May and June we will be taking suggestions for an alternative title for both this blog (the site address will not change though, I promise) and for the actual Writing Group, which will being meeting in late August/early September. If we have enough contributions than by mid-June we may hold an election for the best possible name.

Also, if you are concerned as to what the intention of this blog is my suggestion is that you visit http://www.burnsidewriterscollective.com/. Though this website is much more elaborate it can give you an idea of what the eventual goal of this site is.

As this blog gains readers and contributors we will begin to post online opportunities for writing contests and other writing opportunities that we stumble across.
