Honestly, I love the internet for having writers like yourself that sit down and take time to educate, and mentor us into preparing us through the right way to succeed in life. Whether you think that this helps or not, I just want you to know that it most definitely makes a huge impact and a difference for someone like myself. I'm taking my time to write this because I don't want you to go feeling un-noticed! You have most definitely been recognized and you should know that this has surely helped me along my way!

Successful groups can't wait around for people to build up courage, or we'd never have people ready to submit and receive feedback.<BR/><BR/>We're a professional workshop geared toward publication. <BR/><BR/>Inasmuch as I'd like to glue bottoms to the seats, I can't. People leave for many reasons, most of which are personal. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps you want to re-read my original post?Harlem Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483428655103045805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18916729.post-27621705593328827962008-10-17T22:02:00.000-04:002008-10-17T22:02:00.000-04:00The revolving door issue was a problem with me in ...The revolving door issue was a problem with me in several groups I attended.

But KW is right. I have seen the revolving door and the personalities first hand and cannot imagine the level of frustration involved in moderating such a circus. Nevertheless, he plows on and it is honorable.<BR/><BR/>I do want to see more written about the Clinical Psych angle. I think thats great! The personalities we have dealt with over the years have been downright comical. And I don't blame the HarlemWriter for becoming disdained with performing arts / drama. He had plenty in his group.Richard Krihelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080031837213250149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18916729.post-24818814502307339692008-10-17T09:36:00.000-04:002008-10-17T09:36:00.000-04:00While I've never run a writers group/workshop, I d...While I've never run a writers group/workshop, I do feel that they are invaluable. I was able to FINALLY complete my first novel Again and Again via a workshop taught by Donna Hill at the Fredrick Douglas Creative Art Center in 2002.<BR/><BR/>Now I belong to several online writing groups, which are better for me since I have two young children. I'm even doing some editing now and I don't think I would have had the skill if I'd not had the experience providing critiques to other writers in structured workshops.Leah Mullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633842458831096428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18916729.post-57322823156206302872008-10-16T17:21:00.000-04:002008-10-16T17:21:00.000-04:00You are DIVINE!
