Writer's Groups

All writing groups are not equal. Finding the perfect one for you will help you reach the next level quicker. Finding the wrong one may put you off writing entirely. So how do you avoid the bad ones and find the good ones. Unfortunately, I have little advice. I was lucky. I quickly found a group of talented friends. We all attended the same writing workshop in 2002. Everyone at the workshop joined an online group. Most quickly drifted away. Those that remained formed the core of the group - DragonWriters.

Although we share a love for SF/F, we are very different writers. Some outline. Some let their characters lead the way. But one thing we all share is a deep respect for each other and an acceptance of each other's methods. This is a must for any writing group.
