Thursday evening Lee and I attended our first Writer's Group meeting in Knoxville, the group is known as the Marion County Writer's Workshop. The group was organized nine years ago, and there were 10 members present this particular evening. Lee and I were made to feel very welcome and appreciate the opportunity to participate in the evening discussion.
Each member, either brings the weeks writing challenge, the topic or situation is set forth the meeting before. Or, they can bring a piece of a bigger work that they are producing. After the reader reads their composition, the group takes turns giving a constructive critique. The purpose is to help the writer improve. All criticism is done in a manner that is non-threatening and helpful.
I came away with the understanding, that the group is interested in helping everyone improve. Also to help the writer to take their writing to the next level.
I think Lee and I both came away with the expectation of continuing with this group.
Again thank you for welcoming us to your group.
Until next, time "Remember Who You Are"
