"We cannot ever hurt each other in here." That's the most reassuring thing a fledgling writer can hear in a writing community. Over at Newsvine, blogger Rwarner just opened up a friendly new Open Mic workshopping space for writers dedicated to that motto:
"I want everyone to have the chance to write about what they want to write about. If you don't know where to publish something and yet need to, publish it to here. I have felt and I have heard others concur that we just aren't sure what we write is news. I want to hear all of your wonderful stories, poems, rants, contests, games, jokes, songs, confessions, dreams, and whatever else we may dream of."
You need these safe spaces to share your writing. With the Internet, anybody can find these spaces. Give Newsvine a try: it's like Digg (the site that collects user-selected content and allows readers to browse popular stories in every category), except Newsvine is more friendly for journalists and writers.
You can sign up for Rwarner's open mic here.
