Last year, Mrs. D over at Life of a Doctor’s Wife and I were a part of Mighty Maggie’s incredibly awesome writing group. We both loved it and I, for one, definitely benefited from getting feedback from other writers. We all had aspirations of writing something bigger, of improving on something we were already working on, or just writing for the fun of it.
The group kind of tapered off, as our lives got busy with work and husbands and kids, and it eventually came to an end. A couple weeks ago Mrs. D and I were talking and agreed that we really missed it. It was so nice to get suggestions and encouragement from intelligent and insightful writers. I don’t think there is anything more rewarding as a writer than having someone (especially someone like Mrs. D, who, as you all know, is an incredibly talented writer) tell you that they like your writing.
So! Mrs. D and I are asking our readers if anyone would be interested in being involved in an online writing group? We would use some kind of yet-to-be-determined online file-sharing system with which we could read and edit each other’s work. It could be anything – a novel, a memoir, whatever you’re working on.
If you’re interested, let me know in the comments and we’ll send out an email in a few days. And if anyone has any suggestions for an online file-sharing system, that would be great!
