One thing I ask is to tell me if I'm offending a particular group of people.

Things I like end up in little brackets. <br /><br />Maybe I should reverse the process on my critiques ... except for maybe the "to-bes" and "ings". I highlight those in my own stuff.<br /><br />Enjoy your group.

Other people's views can be so very helpful when one's writing. I think it also helps to just know that each member of the group is going through the same process.

I actually have two. I am the moderator of a face-to-face group, the membership in this groups comes and goes as people get published. Then I just joined an online group. Both have their advantages. I too believe that without their encouragement I may not still be creating fantastical stories, at least I wouldn't be sharing them.<br />Nancy<br /><a href="http://nrwilliams.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">N.
