FAQ

Question 0: Are there any websites you recommend?
Answer   0: http://apwriters.org/ is a fantastic resource for writers in asia. There is information on there for a Low Res Creative Writing MFA (based in Hong Kong). 
 
Question 1:  Why the name Writer's Block?
Answer   1:  Because we are not afraid.

Question 2:  No, seriously
Answer   2:   We' ve found that the best cure for writer’s block is to get together with other writers and shame each other into being productive. The name is a beacon, to other people struggling with this problem. We’re kind of like batman, really.

Question 3:  Is WB only web based, or do you meet in real life?
Answer   3:  We meet frequently in real life to critique, write, gossip, etc…

Question 4:  How can I join WB?
Answer   4:  Because we actually meet regularly to critique, we are not able to accommodate a large number of members. Currently, we are at our maximum size, and cannot accept any more new members. From time to time however, some of our brethren disappear under suspicious circumstances, in which case, we take on new blood.

Question 5:  Now you're just being snobbish.
Answer   5:  No really, its quite hard to critique with a huge group of people. We actually recommend that you start up your own writers group. It beats the hell out of being a lonely writer.

Question 6:  Is this a cult?
Answer   6:  More of a secret society.

Question 7:  Where's the money in this?
Answer   7:   LOL.

Question 8:  Do you guys do any real work?
Answer   8:  I'm not answering that. *offended silence*

Question 9:  What is the meaning of life?
Answer   9:  42

Question10:  What's the point of writing if you don’t get paid for it?
Answer  10:  *realizes the truth and quickly kills himself*
