Writing is a lonely profession
I have recently started to write short stories, but being out in the wilds of Shropshire I can't find a Writing Club locally. The nearest one is 25 miles away and meet on a Saturday, which is the one day that I can't make. My wife is very supportive but her life is horses and competing and really doesn't give me unbiased feedback. Has anyone any ideas. All comments would be greatly appreciated.

You'll get new friends, tips, links to articles, offers of beta readers and more from them all...won't be long before you'll be begging to be alone with your writing once more :P

And you'll meet people like me.

And hi.
And we have the One Word Competition each month. See the sticky thread at the top of the board.
br is right (this is TB - anything can happen) If you can't get to a 'real' group, try some virtul ones.
If you want feedback in general, here's the place.
If you want to post work, try the Writers and Artists Yearbook site - https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/community
If you write a particular genre, look for Facebook groups, or get hold of a copy of Writing Magazine and see if there are any good links there.
Writing is a solitary occupation, but it need not be lonely.
Try this for Shropshire, the new season is just starting.

Well, that's me done on TB for now. Back to the daily grind.
