<p>Call it a Writer's Group!!!</p>
<p>Find a place where you can meet once a month.</p>
<p>Get something cheap! Something that will be available year round. The same place the same time.</p>
<p>Go to your library, schools or anywhere where people can meet then put up fliers on your group. Make certain you have a place first. </p>
<p>Just because you start the group doesn't mean you are the leader, pass the responsibly onto all. But you need to show up every month until the group takes off. </p>

<p>I belong to a writer's group called, Rice Creek Writers. We meet every third Saturday of the month. We pay twenty dollars a year, per person (a donation). We meet at ten to noon. Create guide lines, all writing is allowed but figue the time and the amount of readers for the week and figue out how much time each reader gets per the allotted time. We offer feedback. Or the reader can decline feedback. We bring copies for the other members to write on and offer suggestions. I'm writing a novel, so I bring two to three pages. <strong>DON"T</strong> get upset if you don't like the feedback... Take it with stride and decide if it's good for you.</p>
<p>I hope this is helpful...</p>

<p>Larry, this may interest you too. A writing workshop's definitely going to attract current or aspiring writers and give you that communication you're seeking with other writers. :)</p>
