You can find them in the nav bar like so:

Groups are hubs for writers to gather around something they share in common. They include a Facebook-like feed and most of them also include their own forums.

What’s going on for all of you? How’s life? How’s writing?

Life is good! I’m starting school tomorrow. I haven’t written much lately, just been editing the second book of a series.

Always looking for new books to read, especially Christian fiction. Well, I just finished The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep (by H.G. Parry) yesterday, one of the best books I’ve read recently. Though it’s not Christian, it’s clean and I highly recommend it. I’m also reading Great…[Read more]

Welcome back!

Lol, that’s <i>so</i> understandable. What books have you been reading recently? YES, we finally won a guild war! We had good teamwork. 😛

Writing’s been going uncharacteristically great for me, which is a blessing and even though I’m trying to come up with a…[Read more]

It was really nice to come back from a week of injections, hospital trips, conferences, and essays (legit. It should not be legal to assign teenagers with thirteen essays to do in five days. *dramatic sob*) and to find that you had gotten on with writing, and had done an a.m.a.z.i.n.g job at it. So proud. You guys made…[Read more]

And then more recently, we had a post from Martin about The Artist’s Eye, and to seek the beautiful in the ordinary everyday.

For the next two weeks, that’s exactly what we’…[Read more]
