It's been batted around before, and Adam is starting one about Tenkara - Would anyone be interested in contributing to a smallstreams.com book?
I'm thinking along the lines of your stories - there are wonderful writers with terrific experiences here, and I would love to think that a book, or at least an ebook, would be something that we might be able to pull together.
Format-wise, I'm thinking possibly a few quick profile questions followed by a story of your smallstreams endeavors? What fishing small streams means to you, etc. I'm thinking a 1,000 word basic guideline for the story length (that's about four pages.)
I'd write a new one, some of you already have some.
It would be a community project, for the good of the community, and if we could pull one off, who knows, maybe we could make future volumes. I woul love to see contributors from the many places we all represent. I would also want to limit it to a specific, yet to be determined number of contributors. Fifteen comes to mind.
Anyone game for giving it a try? Slow project, but a fun one. If I get enough takers, I'll create a permission based forum for the group to write, proofread, etc. so the book is truly "new" content and not necessarily recycled already available smallstreams posts. If you worry about your writing in any way, don't. Participating in this is about the desire and helping each other if needs arise.
What say you?
