I don't think I would be published and enjoying the life of an author if I didn't have the support of people who also love to write. Sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with your local group. So far I haven't encountered it.

Of the 15 members, I was the only one who wrote romance and was multi-published...and the least respected because we all know you can knock out a romance in no time because it's all a formula. I left the meetings many times in tears. Calvin finally insisted we leave. So, be careful of writing groups you join. Some are very stuffy and darn nasty. As for writers online who are busy, we are often able to donate a 30 minute block here or there to help.<br />Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857180574575421857.post-41415359213215101692015-03-11T17:30:36.914-04:002015-03-11T17:30:36.914-04:00I haven't really connected with my online frie...I haven't really connected with my online friends. They all seem so busy with their own projects, I hate to bother them. I wish their was someone in my area I could bounce ideas off of. My family pretty much rolls their eyes and gives me that "this again" look. I'd love to find a writing group.
