Good looking everyone - thanks for the PMs to those that have sent.
@Mike Wrecka has a great idea for all who are interested. He also brought up good feedback to me in a PM too re: making sure that we keep the momentum going.

At this point, I really want to make it clear to everyone involved that you by no means need me for anything at all --- we have a list. We have a list of writers who have put their name down as an individual who is interested in collaboration, concerted feedback, and the mutually beneficial growth of one-another! While it might be easy to overlook, the foundation for success has already been established... No one signed up to "look cool", or to "win a prize" or a "title" or "bragging rights" --- but that list alone is ALL that is needed to implement a 'culture of growth'.

My focus is on two points - a beginning and end point. Phase 1 is done. The end point is about changing our culture and growing one another, even if it happens in our own microcosm at first. The end point will include the means to more effectively collaborate, share works, share feedback, tutorials/ideas/etc... The end point also consists of a scalable means to ensure this is a lasting and "growing thing", so we can reevaluate that end-point and push it further out as we go.

Those two points make a line - and the pace we progress down that line will be determined by the pace set of this group. Sure, I have some very specific ideas to proactively bring up with the team --- but anyone can do anything, no questions asked. Throw ideas over the fence, OR just implement them. If they resonate, awesome -- if they don't, try getting feedback and modify the approach -- as we evolve, so will the process... and vice versa.

The change to come is an OVEN, NOT A LIGHT SWITCH --- however, this group can determine the rate at which it's preheated. Fire it up.
