Looking to connect

Hey! Looking to connect with other literary writers. I once had a writing group or two, but I had to take an extended hiatus. Meanwhile, everyone moved on. I've learned lots about the business of publishing (and found most of it problematic) as well as craft. I decided not to do an MFA after much debate, but know this was the right decision for my writing; I simply don't believe I would have been able to blossom within that system. Is it safe to assume most here are also MFA-less?

Looking to share and learn from others.

Thanks!

Thoughts on making the sub more active?

I'm open to suggestions for getting this sub to be more active. Posts that seem interesting aren't getting much engagement, and I remove a majority of posts for being spam. I'd like to see this become a thriving community to discuss literary writing and craft and to find writing groups, but I need your help to make that happen.

What's your process for thinking through structure?

Craft Discussion [Fiction]

I'm beginning the process of restructuring my book and was curious on other's processes or tips.

What questions do you ask yourself? What elements do you find it important or helpful to focus on?
