Two Thursdays a month, I go to my local Borders and meet with other writers for a critiquing group.  Well, it used to be writers it’s not that now.  The group has shrunk down to only two of us.  One writer, after self-publishing, decided she didn’t need a critiquing group and left.  Another member became too ill to attend.  The third member lost interest and stopped writing. 

     Now we are two, two very determined writers, passionate in our craft.  We push each other forward and hone our writing techniques to a fine edge. 

     Yes, it would be better to have more people in our group.  However, finding writers willing to meet at one o’clock on a Thursday afternoon isn’t easy.

     We both have other people who review our work.  Dave, G, Jackie, and Elena read mine.  I read Dave’s manuscripts.  I can’t imagine not having them tear into my books.  They are valuable assets.
