I realised I haven't mention the
writing group I belong to on my blog in any detail. I formed
the PWG nearly two years ago at the library in the village of Parisot,
Tarn-et-Garonne, France. It has been a
rewarding experience and has really helped me with my writing. We started out as a group of nine. At that time, some of us had been writing for
a while and others were new to writing. We meet up for three monthly sessions in both
the spring and autumn. The sessions are
just over two hours long. Having the
meetings structured in this way means that most people make every session and
we still have eight original members plus two new ones. The first group proved so popular that I
started a second group last autumn, as I didn’t want the number of the original
group to be more than ten. We are now
at a stage where everyone feels comfortable sharing their writing and trusts
each other. This year we kicked off
with a weekend writing workshop with Amanda Hodgkinson, which proved a great
success and we hope to have more author led workshops over the next twelve
months. One of our members, Vanessa
Couchman, has been writing fiction since 2010 and is about to have her first
novel, The House at Zaronza published by Crooked Cat later this month, which we
are all excited about. You can check out
