I've read all your tales of Writers' groups with interest and I've been thinking of joining one myself for some time. I'm finally going to take the plunge and visit one Thursday night. I'm really excited but a bit nervous! Someone please, reassure me!!
There is nothing to be scared about. Everyone there has been where you are now and they will undoubtedly make you very welcome. Writers groups should be friendly and fun. Don't go with any preconceptions and don't worry if you haven't got the same level of experience as other people, even Stephen King had to start somewhere! Good luck, but trust me, you don't need it.
Yes Nicola, go for it! Writer's groups are usually really friendly. Everyone remembers feeling nervous the first time they went along, and so people will be keen to help you settle in. Let us know how you get on. Good luck.
I have just stumbled across an article in the Midlands Tribune...apparently, a whole writers group vanished without trace a few years ago...all that was left...were pens...
Haha! I survived another haunted night, and many more since! A minor glitch in my life seemed like the end of the world at the time and my writing took a hit. Silly young little madam! I was looking to renew my subscription to to Writing Mag and thought I'd see if I could remember my login. This thread made me giggle... will have to pop back and see how many of you are still active!

My imagination runs riot!
(Sounds like a euphemism, doesn't it?)
Well Jenny, who else'd have 'em? :)
Not actually real, life breathing people. Actually, do those sort of people exist?
We're not real. Are we?
Are friends electric?
