Kelly, I was involved in a writing group until I began working nights. It was a good group, but they only wanted fiction writers, published or not. They allowed me in with my non-fiction book only for the purpose of looking at my book proposal. After that I had to submit fiction of any length. I found them supportive, fun, straightforward, attentive, and no-holds barred on critiques. We met at the local library. The library was closed on one of our meeting nights, which was not an option. We met at the home of our "leader" and continued our work. They are a dedicated group and I miss them. Saundra
