Crushed by generosity
I’ve gotten quite a few responses back already and it’s been so amazingly great and helpful. There are a few more that should drift in here this week and then I’m going to pull them all together, sit down, and work on rewrites.
I’m not a very good critic but I would like to become a better one. I wish I had an in real life writing group; I’ve been thinking more about putting one together. I don’t know many writers in real life. In fact, I think that I only have one in real life writing friend here in town. (She shall remain nameless but she’s the gentle Georgia in my chapter.)
This woman has built an incredible community both in real life (in the Bay Area) and online for writing mothers. I lurk on the list and I’m very envious of the support and time they are able to give each other. I would love to create a group of Cowtown mom-writers but I don’t think I could do what Amy has done because I don’t have her gifts. Still, she inspires me and now that I’ve started thinking that way, maybe it will begin falling together. I notice that things tend to do that once you turn your mind in that direction.
