What happened to NEWT?

On the blog where I do my blogging, Pages, I reflect on having run it for 10 years (since 15th February 2005) and I say the following:

Another result of my professional life was the creation of NEWT, the Network for Experimental Writing Tutors. It ran for a little while until I encouraged all tutors of writing to join the National Association of Writers in Education (NAWE, not such an exciting acronym), not least of all since I was serving on the HE Committee of NAWE. I even started another blog here, but it fell into disuse. There must be hundreds of thousands of blogs, floating around like space-junk, in this fashion. But I don't feel like deleting it, in case there is a need for it to revive, or in case someone might be inspired by it.

All my thoughts on creative writing pedagogy may be read in:
