I've been so bad about posting this weekend. I did get two stories up (1798 and 889 respectively), along with the usual weekend stuff and getting read for a luau. It takes a long time to design an invitation...

Read about a new writing group, but you can only join if you have been publish or are working on a manuscript. That seems a little self serving to me. A friend of mine has joined - he's a very correct but dictating writer. I don't think you should bully your readers into emotions and that's what he does. So, even though I have been published and always have a manuscript of some sort going, I won't be joining.

I understand your reasoning. I never got the chance to have my original stuff published, but even if I had, I won't join such a group, either.

It just such a snobby sounding group, you know what I mean? It should be a group for people who love to write. They said in the article that anyone suffering from writer's block need not apply. This was a group for people who were actively pursuing professional publication. How rude is that?

If they're knocking back anyone who gets writers block... they don't sound much use to most good writers.

That doesn't sound like your sort of group! I don't blame you for not feeling like joining.

Congrats on the new stories!

thanks. I have to admit you keep me hopping.

I think writing is so personal... while a group is good, if it's not one you feel totally comfortable with, it's not the right one...
