Writing groups

Lately I’ve been thinking about writing groups, perhaps since my current group has been on hiatus but we are talking about re-starting.  

Over the years, I’ve been a member (usually a founding member) of a half-dozen writing groups, some of which have met in person, and some of which have been only online.  Most of them don’t last more than a year, which I think is due in part to my own nomadic existence.  Any writing group needs at least two people who will submit something every single time, even if it’s short. And every group I’ve ever seen needs periodic infusions of fresh blood to replace writers who move, quit, or just mysteriously fade away.

But even though they may be ephemeral, a writing group in my experience is a great place to get a fresh point of view.  I don’t always like that point of view, or agree with it, but it’s almost always helpful to hear it.  Howard Tayler once said in the Writing Excuses podcast that the customer knows what the problem is but not how to fix it.  I think of writing groups the same way.  They help me identify places where my words aren’t doing what they should.  But ultimately, I have to make the decision about how to make the writing work.
