I have participated (on and off) within writer's groups for 50 years and this the the best, most comprehensive and succinct advice I wish had been available over the years. This post is the most apt advice ever. I have finally found a small group, each person with different attributes to contribute and doing so with respect and honest. Such a relief. Were I prone to envy, I could be jealous of all of you starting out with such good advice so early on in your writing practice.
