Well, actually, WAV, the writers' group I belong to meets in a few minutes and I'm assembling my material and preparing to answer the door when they begin to arrive. The purpose of the group is mutual support and criticism, that sort of thing. Several of us are published; sold things to magazines, journals, two of us have books published and are receiving royalies therefrom.

I find the group very stimulating and helpful. I might suggest that you seek out a similar group where you are.
