Writers Circle

2/5/2018

I think I want to find a group of other aspiring writers out there. Now, there is a caveat, of course. Everyone and their dog claims themself a writer, so what I'm looking for are people actively trying to get published. I've been a "writer" for decades, but I haven't put myself into this kind of focused effort to get published until just a couple years ago. It's different. 

So now I have to figure out where to find others. I've considered my circle of friends, but I think I might be the only one actually doing this seriously. Everyone wants to write a script or a fan fic, but I have no one to compare novel writing techniques, mapping out a plot, various ways of outlining or a myriad of other problem unique to those pursuing publishing.

In case you're wondering what's brought this on, there are a couple reasons. A published author named Jenna Moreci, who is about to release her new book The Savior's Champion, highly suggested getting in a writer's group to compare your stuff with other writers. I considered it after hearing her talk about the benefits. Then I started listening to Writing Excuses, a podcast about writing that I've mentioned before. Big name, multi-series authors take 15 minutes out of their day to share some experience and advice with whomever decides the podcast is worth their time, and these highly successful authors... are a frickin' writing group. I don't know why it didn't strike me immediately, but as I listened, I realized they've all been reading each other and giving feedback. Even these people utilize writers groups. 

So, I suppose now I just have to figure out where to find them. I'll probably start somewhere on Reddit and move on from there, but, gosh, I wish I could a decent circle of people near me to meet in person. Until then, my lovely and amazing Beta Readers will pull me through.

​DFTBA!
