I must also say it is hard not to get carried away with them. I do love me a good contest! It is hard to find the balance between writing and those fun contests.A Pen In Neverland: Angela Peña Dahlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979468109234357616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526683900253948041.post-65716483188040636062010-07-07T19:14:52.543-05:002010-07-07T19:14:52.543-05:00Great post!

Not that you want to, but need to, because these are not only strangers, but readers as well. that's how i see them. Readers ready to judge and pick apart anything and everything written. But with that wonderful and sometimes dreadful criticism we can hone and make are story that much better. =)Natalie Deckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09420337655010987555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526683900253948041.post-15259820552864135822010-07-06T15:42:01.994-05:002010-07-06T15:42:01.994-05:00I know where you are coming from there.

As has been my experience and I know it's been yours too.<br /><br />I don't have a writing group. What I have done is when a fellow writer is looking for a beta reader, I've offered to help them if I had the time.<br /><br />Then we switch mss. That tends to work out well. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07804306924674002487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526683900253948041.post-40511048688383923952010-07-06T12:59:10.220-05:002010-07-06T12:59:10.220-05:00Hey, a question for you.

I've joined up with tons since I started seriously writing, and they always end up not working out for one reason or another. What do you look for in a writing group? How do you find a good one?Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639826676031592704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526683900253948041.post-13402178167018242342010-07-06T11:08:23.915-05:002010-07-06T11:08:23.915-05:00I'm a BIG fan of contests.
