Together We Write

28 May 2010 | Filed Under Writing Group 


My friends and I are going to start a writing group!

Not sure yet on the details. We might have topics to write on, or we might just work on our WIPs. Might be weekly, might be monthly.

The point is to hold ourselves accountable and write.

Oh, but encouragement and critiques are good too!

Getting my work critiqued in fiction writing class was always so valuable to me, and really helped me improve. If you’ve never been part of a group, join one! It can be with your friends, people in your community, or online. Get your work out there so you can receive feedback. It’s the best way to grow.

Have you been part of a writing group? Any good stories (fiction or non-fiction) to share?

    Hi, I'm Jenn, new grad student and old YA fantasy writer. I've long dreamed of being a novelist, and I bet you have too. I hope you find my blog helpful, inspiring, and maybe just a little bit fun. (But not too much fun. Writing is serious business, you know.)
