It's the journey, and the friends we make along that journey, that make the writing process and eventual publication so meaningful.Grace Toppinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291304815273486038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-75932503516630805112015-05-17T09:03:46.184-04:002015-05-17T09:03:46.184-04:00As a group mystery writers are supportive and gene...As a group mystery writers are supportive and generous with their time.

...You've had some wonderful experiences,Sarah!<br /><br />The writing community can be very supportive, although it took me a while to find people who are supportive, not competitive. My first few attempts to connect met with total disdain. Then a few local people formed a critique group (it's been going for about 6 years now) and Gloria introduced me to Malice Domestic, which gave me a second look into some of the other groups. The support is invaluable.

Joining the Guppies gave me those people who shared the same interests and problems. It's where I got my long time critique group, too. Since then I've also joined a group of NE Ohio mystery writers group which eventually became a chapter of SinC. What a difference connecting with other writers of mysteries has made both in my skills as a mystery writer, and the support and friendships I've made both in person and on line.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.com
