On Tuesday evening it was the last of the six novel group sessions which I began in September. I have enjoyed these sessions enormously. They have reminded me how much I love facilitating/teaching/mentoring and the group have been just great – very hardworking and very serious about their writing.
By way of celebration we talked about what had been achieved, here are some thoughts:
- written a lot more than I would have without the group
- no longer worried about how it will work – the structure and shape of it have emerged.
- I am a more self conscious writer
- got my confidence back!
- very happy with what I’ve achieved
- more confident about what I write – my ‘voice is getting stronger’
- appreciated the resources that have been discussed and provided –and the help with technical problems
- learned the importance of editing
- the sense of audience and the feedback have been very helpful
- we’ve had fun and have bonded as a group – learned from each other’s issues
- grateful for the time given to help with my synopsis
- we’ve really looked in depth at our work, much more than is possible in most writers’ groups……
I intend to continue in the New Year – by offering a once monthly group – please do get in touch if you are interested
