Writing groups are one of the greatest things I could be part of as a writer. As a psych major I’m always interested in seeing the bloom and grow and seeing how diverse writers influence each others craft. It feels good to be in a safe place among other’s who share the same medium. Writing groups give writers several things, a safe space to share thoughts and ideas, a safe place to receive feedback, the ability to learn and grow, and connection. Writing is solitary. You see the world from your own eyes, you pull the memories from your own brain, and you write the words in your own unique way. So being part of writing groups helps you see perspectives outside your own. Maybe in some ways other writers may validate you. Maybe in others they’ll pull you out of the plot hole you’ve buried yourself into.
If you haven’t join a writing group as a writer, what are you waiting for? Find the nearest writing group and dig in!
How about you? What was your experience with writing groups? Good? Bad? Great? I wanna know.
