Writing, Blogging, and Writing Groups

I’m blogging later and later these days. It is partly to do with starting a new job, but also to do with being busy outside of work too. Tonight I was at my writing group. I have been a member of my writing group for three years. They are a tough bunch of critics, but that is what I need. They can see things that I would never have thought of and help me improve my story.

In the same way I can give advice on their writing. I love being part of this group because we understand each other. It is more than a hobby to them, and I think the same way.

When I put words on the page, it creates the characters your reader will eventually empathise with. My latest project is about a visually impaired woman who investigates her husband’s death. Writing the whole narrative without having sight is difficult. Research is important, if I am to do my character justice.
