Video Refresh: Nicole Simms on Why Writers Should Be Part of a Writing Group
Today we revisit Nicole Simm’s column on Being Part of a Writing Group:
The one main fear that can come from looking into joining a writing group is that your work will be torn to shreds, and your ability will be questioned, which for us self-doubters is our biggest fear, to have confirmed what you already fear. However, as I have often said in my past posts Mr Self-doubt often lies to you, if writing is your passion, then you do not need permission to do so, and no one starts off as a brilliant writer, like everything in life practice makes perfect.
