Who We Are
First of all, we are awesome and we are beautiful.
We're a group of dedicated people who share a dream and that dream has brought us together. We are kept together by our bonds of friendship, deep trust, endless support, and the understanding that we are eternal students. Through our different critique methods and the pooling our knowledge we are constantly working to help each other grow and make our dreams into our reality.
We are fantasy writers who are or hope to be published. We meet each Sunday for 5+ hours in order to refine and hone our skills, primarily through the means of critique. Our meetings usually start with a cup of coffee, a bite of lunch, and a session of affirmation where we talk at length about why we value each other. Afterwards we set goals, discuss new pieces of information, and volunteer for critique.
Critiques usually take up the bulk of our time. One person brings in a new chapter or segment of a chapter, usually around five pages, and reads it out loud. Afterwards the other members talk about what they like and offer solutions for what can be fixed. If someone has an idea, we may brainstorm with them, offering suggestions for how the story can be developed. During Nanowrimo season, we spend large chunks of our meeting time writing. Sometimes change up the meetings by trying our hands at new skills (submitting to magazines, creating websites) or go out on excursions.
We are good friends and awesome writers.
