A new writers' group has been created by Sleepless Whispers Forum. All writers are invited to join; the group will follow similar guidelines to the Hatrack writers' groups, though it is slightly more intensive.

Here's the answer. This workshop is to help improve those writing skills while at the same time providing a full and rich community environment for its users. I won't lie however; it does demand some free time, commitment, and a little effort. But in my opinion and experience, it's well worth it.
For those of you who don't know (or are too young to remember), Hatrack underwent a massive change this summer. You see, the problem was that many of the members were simply using the Open Forum as a place for discussing anything. Nothing wrong with that. However, over the course of about six months, there were several events (the Newbie Wars, the Spam Invasions and most noticably, the Nonsense Threads). Discussions all over began to move away from the original, intended topic of Writing and the Creative Process. This is not what OSC wanted when he first set out to make a friendly environment for young writers. Finally, the decision was made to eliminate the Open Discussions forum and dedicate the entire site to writing.
