Today I am blogging from the local Nano reunion, surreptitiously of course. That is the amazing, wonderful people I did NaNoWriMo with a couple months ago. And no, that's not sarcasm. I may not always agree with everyone but the simple fact everyone writes something and keeps writing is a good thing. So they are amazing, wonderful people. And Mom's in charge which is always entertaining. I get to be the antagonistic child. *grin* We may have our own group website eventually... isn't that cool?
This writing group thing is pretty new to me. I am so used to being the only person I know doing this stuff. Occasionally squiggs me out a little bit sometimes. I hate to compare myself to others but it's a little hard not to when everyone around me is doing the same thing. Thus I lurk as I am doing now.
Part of this group's events today is a writing assignment. With a name, occupation, item, color, and word count we are to write a short story including all of this before the next meeting. Last meeting we had a similar assignment. Which I failed to complete. *shrug* I lost it... if you saw my place you'd understand. Chaos reigns there. BTW, everything on the card to be written about was chosen by someone else. My card has Simon, waste disposer, screw, mauve, and 432. We shall see if in the next three weeks I can do this. In with the rest of my to do list. Or I see if Asrion will do it... heeheehee. The WebYeti can tell the newest brother how I hassle them.
So what do the rest of you think about writing groups? How have they worked for you? And not just writing groups, actually. I feel like this is as much a support group as anything else. What other support groups do you like?
I'm going to sign off for now. Have a good week, everyone.
