Catching up on some old business. After meeting Eva Marie Everson (the founder and CEO of Word Weavers) last fall at a conference, I joined the program. Word Weavers brings together small groups who read and critique each other’s writing samples once a month. I can’t say enough good things about this organization. Eva Marie is wonderful, she runs a tight but warm-hearted ship, and the leadership also provides so many other helpful resources via email and facebook.

I am in both a local general writing group and a Zoom call SciFi/Fantasy one. The critiques have been excellent, and everyone is so supportive of each other. This is especially helpful for new writers.

So don’t be shy –  find a group near you, or online if there isn’t one close enough for you. You can find them at https://word-weavers.com. Happy writing!

I’ll be attending my first Realm Makers Conference this week, in St. Louis. I love St. Louis. Realm Makers is a group of Christian speculative writers (mostly Science Fiction and Fantasy), so this is also the first time I will be attending a specifically SciFi/Fantasy conference. Steve Laube will be the keynote speaker. I’m really looking forward to that. And there are some wonderful workshop teachers. I’ll let you know how it went next week!
