It's great to be part of a community of writers online and off. Sometimes I need face-to-face. I found a writers group a while back and I really look forward to our meetings. Thanks for confirming that I need to keep up the group work ... writing really is a team sport after all. : )S.

It does seem like our life as writers would be solitary, but it's my critique partners who hold my feet to the fire and keep me going, especially when I don't believe in myself. <br /><br />(And, I have actually apologized to my characters when I left them in a bind for too long! I'm sure a shrink would have a hay day with that!) ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement!Dee Dee https://www.blogger.com/profile/12568993522822927873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-45528333358723145392012-08-31T09:28:01.969-04:002012-08-31T09:28:01.969-04:00What a fabulous post, Reba and Edie!
