Its just a thing groups go through; I know this, but can't help but feel a little abandoned.<br /><br />Then again, I wonder if I still want the the in person experience. Its a travel time issue, as there isn't anything close in my little town. Yet, I also wonder if I haven't traipsed into the "mentor" type role in the group and I'm not sure how I feel about that. While its not the same "group" that nurtured me through my beginning writing experience, the leader is the same, and I've come to appreciate her mentoring/leadership style.<br /><br />But going with an online group is kinda scary. I'm not a consistent writer - I have a day job that eats a lot of my writing time - but I still have projects that I want critiques on. I worry that I'm not writing/submitting as often as a group would want. And, I've gone beyond the point I need feedback on every word I write.<br /><br />And, I'm reading this back and thinking TMI, lol. Decisions, decions . .<br /><br />........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716443587185617804.post-18133043846231458392011-11-16T19:59:11.643-06:002011-11-16T19:59:11.643-06:00i have a writer friend that i trade manuscripts wi...i have a writer friend that i trade manuscripts with, but mostly i rely on my on-line crit group. i've never met them, but they're amazing, talented women! on-line crit groups work great for me!Amie Borsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303337229388844182noreply@blogger.com
