I went to their winter conference a few years ago and relished EVERY SECOND of it. I wish I could go all the time, but funds are limited at the moment. But I do hope to return within the next few years.<br /><br />I may check out Pennwriters. That sounds like a great organization. Thanks for the info.<br /><br />I totally believe writers need to meet their peers on occasion.

We meet once a month except for July and August. I get a little bit out of going, but it's a very small group that tends to be fairly nice in critiques so I don't know how much I learn. I have won $21 in contest prizes this year and that's cool.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://afarawayview.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> A Faraway View</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-1946931584485355292013-09-18T20:33:47.143-04:002013-09-18T20:33:47.143-04:00no i don't belong to any writing groups---i am...no i don't belong to any writing groups---i am sure they are a wonderful resource :)Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-52869820986747970182013-09-18T16:19:43.365-04:002013-09-18T16:19:43.365-04:00You said it just right, Julie.

Ironically, I don't write fiction, at least right now. Even though I live in the other side of the state as most of them, I have loved my involvement in the group and am even the co-editor of their online blog (www.rmfr.org/blog). It's a great way to meet other writers, get involved, increase your contacts and support!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741349796538313075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-10027063472831501582013-09-18T10:05:27.353-04:002013-09-18T10:05:27.353-04:00I don't belong to any in the real world, just ...I don't belong to any in the real world, just online.Alex J.
