The Diligent Writes Critiquing Group is a group that I started because I couldn’t find anyone one to help me with critiquing. I needed and wanted feedback on my work.
On November 20th, I held my second meeting. The first time we only had two people. That meeting went really well. One person due to personal reasons dropped out for a while, but this meeting we had three people. All three got a chance to read their work and we had some wonderful discussion on writing, characters, good ideas, the benefit of having good critiquing and various other subjects. The two hours went quickly and it was really enjoyable.
I didn’t read because I was working on my first draft manuscript. If I did read it would have been full of embarrassing mistakes. If someone reads, it’s better to have edited it several times before presenting it to the group.
***The next meeting is on December 18th. ***
I’m making up reminder flyers to send to everyone.
Being the host of a group has it own rewards. While I am the leader of the group, the group is there to benefit everyone. My job is to make sure that it runs smoothly and stays on track. Sometime the group can get on a subject and then the real reason they came is not accomplished. I also look for good parting information as words of wisdom to give them. To keep the members on their journey and to give them more than what they came for.
In making the decision to start The Diligent Writers Critiquing Group because I couldn’t fine one I feel shows great character. It shows diligence in not only the writing process but in the journey to greatness. If you have a journey that you are proud of tell your story and let other see you shine. Until next time.
