A Wonderful Group of Writers

4/27/2016

0 Comments

 
Earlier this year, I joined a Writers Group.  It was probably the best idea I have had for a while. We meet and share our writing and our concerns about what we are creating twice a month in two hour sessions. Completely honest, supportive and happy to help, this group of seven provides each of us with exactly the sort of idea exchange, constructive criticism and encouragement that sends us all back to our individual solitary writing pursuits ready to go at it again. 

The members of the group could not be more diverse if they had been deliberately chosen for the variety in their styles and the differing perspectives they bring to their work. Varied life experiences all play a part, many are well travelled, all are bright, capable women.

One member of the group is writing mystery and suspense and exploring the memoir form, another tells delightfully humorous tales of her travels, another is a poet, whose work reflects her thoughtful exploration of her life and her  compassionate observations of people in urban settings across Canada.

Another member writes delicate, poignant memories of her youth, another is an author whose work is grounded in her time in Asia, we have two historians, one writing in  novel form about Canadian history, and the other documenting, on a personal level, one of the great tragedies in recent world history. And, finally, a member of the group is a short story writer, whose ability to say a great deal in a very few words is most impressive....our twice monthly sessions together are truly wonderful.
