I’ve decided that I’d like to either form or join a small writing group.  I’ve been reading and hearing about the various experiences that people have with them (good and bad) and I can’t help but feel that this would be a good thing to be part of.

With the right group, it would be an encouragement to write and the feedback would be useful.   Giving my own critique is a valuable skill to learn.  Learning to receive critique would be a priceless skill to learn as well.  Ideally, it would be great to have a group of 4 or 5 writers with similar aspirations getting together for an afternoon/evening maybe once a month and helping each other progress and reach goals.

Sadly, the friends that I would love to form a group with have extremely hectic schedules and/or the logistics don’t quite mesh.   I’m not really enthused about meeting with a group of complete strangers (there aren’t many writer oriented events on my radar that I could attend to expand my social circles).

As a last resort, I think I’ll try and form an online group, but I find this loses the immediacy of something local.

I guess I’ll start looking.
