| Tips for finding the right writers group |
Writers need writers! We need to share our
ideas over our hot cup of coffee or tea. What do we do when we do not have the
help and support of other writers? Where can we find a good writers group?
When I moved, I had to leave my old writers group. It was difficult for me because I trusted them with my poorly written
articles. I could trust them to be gentle with me as I was with them.
We not only drooled over each others’ words,
but we shared personal journeys as well. We became a writing family.
A writers group is so much more than
sharing ideas and critiquing each other’s work. A close writers group is where
a writer and author can engage in honest critical feedback. A writers group is
a source of support and encouragement. Every writer knows that in the beginning
of his or her writing journey, there are more rejections than acceptances. We
need like-minded people to hold us up when we have been rejected over and over,
as well as, rejoice with us when we’ve sold an article or even signed a book
contract.
