I've always wanted to do that. Lord knows I need help editing my work! When you write in dialect I suppose the editing is as important as the writing itself!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />StevieStevie Reyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260760380275308488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-74140072063933961432009-10-11T17:40:09.685-04:002009-10-11T17:40:09.685-04:00I've belonged to different writing (critique) ...I've belonged to different writing (critique) groups at different periods of my life since I've picked up my writing pen seriously. It's there I've made some valuable friends who've helped me grow as a writer. They've pushed me out of my comfort zones & forced me to take the next step in writing. Thks for the blog, Diana!

I belong to the ACFW group in Philly, and we will be getting together tomorrow for a writers' slam - an all day gathering for writing, brainstorming, meals and sharing together. I can't wait. I also belong to a small local group of 4 women writers in my town. This group provides a lot of encouragement too, and it is a wonderful outreach for me to these friends who don't know the Lord personally yet. Then there is my on-line critique group through ACFW. They help me polish up my work. I am blessed with writer friends! <br />Blessings,<br />CarrieCarrie Turanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866179102754248664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-4687962218368390552009-10-09T12:54:28.996-04:002009-10-09T12:54:28.996-04:00When others understand your heart, it feels like t...When others understand your heart, it feels like they've handed you an expensive gift. You don't mind getting a few paper cuts (words of correction) as you open it, because their gift of affirmation fills you up. <br /><br />If not for a writers' group two and a half hours away and the friends I've made there, I would not be where I am today. <br /><br />Excellent post, Diana.Jeanette Levelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898750484193832082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-78326809032475425652009-10-09T12:05:15.583-04:002009-10-09T12:05:15.583-04:00My writers group (a chapter of ACFW) is two hours ...My writers group (a chapter of ACFW) is two hours away. I just joined ACFW two weeks ago and now I am hoping to find a way to the city to make it for a meeting a few times year. Meanwhile, I facebook with some of them. One of them has been a great inspiration. I write Christian-Fantasy and so does my friend. We had a connection right away.Nikole Hahnhttp://www.thehahnhuntinglodge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-59823884996487578892009-10-09T10:37:34.626-04:002009-10-09T10:37:34.626-04:00Isn't it a great thing when others 'get yo...Isn't it a great thing when others 'get you'?

We are six ladies who have never all been together at the same time and come from three different areas of the country. Our common bond is that we are Christian writers who often write for the general market and who want to be a light in the world. The group's main function is to encourage each other but we enjoyed our online fellowship so much, we ended up writing a Christmas book together.Wandering Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445595080265227834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-51710366860476036382009-10-09T02:03:08.491-04:002009-10-09T02:03:08.491-04:00One of the reasons I love the blogging world is th...One of the reasons I love the blogging world is the fact it can function like a writing circle. I often refer to it as such. One of my favorite blogging buddies is your client Jeanette Levellie. It's amazing how many friendships I've forged and how many great minds I've encountered through those friendships. Writers are an awesome group of people!Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518718614911804428noreply@blogger.com
