State Of Euphoria: Bangkok Writers Guild

We had quite some stories now on absolutely about Bangkok writers. As we’re all writers in a way. Everybody at one point in one’s life was a writer. We all had a kind of diary, we all were writing about our early love affairs, first travels, grand ideas …

And now the blog-mania. With absolutely another blog joined an already overblogged and overpublicized world. Still, not everybody’s following one’s vocation. But there’s a dedicated movement of writers here in Bangkok: The Bangkok Writers Guild.

In my early Bangkok days I once joined a gathering of the Bangkok Writers Block, an international writers group. It goes without saying that a group named after and probably plagued by the potentially ruinous “writers block” didn’t have much of a future.

And here comes the Writers Guild – open for aspiring writers. If you’re familiar with Bangkok’s world of bloggers, you may recognize a name. Listed authors are a dedicated bunch of authors hopefully being a proactive movement against the sad trend that so much stuff is published these days that’s an utter waste of efforts to save the world – as each unnecessary print or unnecessarily running computer heats up the planet, or so they say.

Looking forward to lots of inspiring works by the Guild! Please just correct the two spelling errors on your webpage – “caffe” and “Memebers”. A writers’ site looks more authoritative when orthographically proper.
