For a long time I have tried joining writers groups on FB and looked for years for something local to me. I have tried a couple and either not felt comfortable or the more common theme is groups that start then peter out very quickly.
Joining a group for NaNo years ago has netted a couple of people that feel the same as me so I have decided now is the time to setup something myself and a friend, that way we can make sure something happens with this one.
Been talking with a friend about setting up the group and names this morning and a few went back and forth as I needed to have something that indicates where we are from but without town names as generally people done come from the same place.
We ended up with Northern Writers, which should cover a decent area and allow us to start moving to get some members. The next step after this will be to arrange regular meetings and look at what we should be doing when we meet-up.
I really am looking forward to this new enthusiasm to getting my writing career on track.
The name of the new group we have setup is Northern Writers, find us on Facebook 🙂
