Writing Groups

I started a writing group at work.  We've had three meetings and so far it's going well.  We don't critique each others work just yet.  We're starting slow, just going through writing exercise to help us feel motivated and inspired.  It's a good group, we're starting to get comfortable enough to read our work and laugh about what we've come up with.  Last month, we worked on being descriptive and this month we're going to work on characters.  It's like a writing group and class all rolled into one.  I am excited about it.  I hope to one day have it grow to be the critique group all writers should be apart of. 

What's great, is that we make the time to write.  It's hard to do so sometimes, especially when you're starting off.  I found forming the group at work just another way to get some writing in.  A group doesn't always have to be just about critiquing, it can be about writing together and sharing your projects and stories and laughing and having a good time.
