It is huge, erika! And you may feel differently about it after you let it rest for a while. Work on something else for a bit or read something of a completely different genre, and give your brain a break.

I was out to dinner with fellow local writers tonight, and I can't even say how good it was for me. Whenever I'm with other writers, it always recharges me. I need to do it more.

To sum up: Writers groups for everyone! They're a good thing!

Go Erika! That is huge. And Amy is wise.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, hate was a bit strong, but you know what it's like when you only see the flaws or that you don't have a nifty case file to draw from like Michael Connelly. To use a completely fictional example that my friend told me about. Besides you people, haven't had a good group since college, though I tried a few times. Mine had too many old guys who hadn't read anything new since the Godfather came out.

Spring 2015.

GUH.

I'm looking at this as an opportunity to roadtrip and see lots of buffistas - is that bad?

Why ... would it be bad?

If by "bad" you mean both "right and proper" and "AWESOME"
