It may be a mob, but it is my mob
Since the launch of Richard Nashs
Red Lemonade sitethe first
iteration of his planned Cursor
platformtalk has been buzzing
among writers about it. The question
Ive heard, literally on the street in
New York when Ive bumped into
people, and online, is this: how is this
different from any other attempt at
online writing communities?
Brian Joseph Davis, Founding
Editor, Joyland.ca
Historical attempts at these large
online writing communities have all
shown that too big a net is cast over
the notion of writing as a singular
activity and goal when, rather,
writing is a writhing mass of ever
evolving code between people.
Brian Joseph Davis
Instead of training readers to be
writersthe purported goal of many
Field of Dreams-like writing websites
Red Lemonade is training writers to
be readers and act as citizens of their
craft. That, I know for a fact, will result
in sales.
