But here ...I meant to comment on this post earlier. But here goes: my writing has improved exponentially by going to a critique group regularly. Not only do VERY good writers offer critiques on my work, but writing pages keeps me moving forward. It's also become a huge resource ("I went to a workshop yesterday," or "I read an article you might be interested in,") and rooting section. Without being saccharine, these people support me--they attend all my author events (locally, anyway) and always encourage me in my momentum. This group is the single-most important thing I've done to move my writing forward.Thonie Hevronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17328992801514559978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-89727062353872009252017-12-17T07:49:33.437-08:002017-12-17T07:49:33.437-08:00Yes, a group like this (and mine) are truly wonder...Yes, a group like this (and mine) are truly wonderful. We are only eight ladies now - and a few have changed over the years like yours, and two (soon three) live a distance away. But when we get together or correspond, it is encouraging and uplifting and inspiring. <br />We can let our hair down and our shirttails hang out... and even stay in our pj's and we are accepted.<br />Here's to us and to all critique groups.Jackie Houchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01753758587434594531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-41505892158437544142017-12-15T09:47:21.955-08:002017-12-15T09:47:21.955-08:00WE are also grateful to our critique group, Laguni...WE are also grateful to our critique group, Lagunita Writers Group. (www.lagunitawriters.com) We always have someone other than the author read our chapters. Hearing them read sometimes points up issues we would not hear or see if we read them. Most of our members are multi-published authors. Three cheers for critique groups!Lorna Collins - Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00255666185667039791noreply@blogger.com
