Writers groups and where to find them.

I’ve gotten addicted to another website…like I didn’t already have enough problems. This time however it is blipfm and crikey is it addictive. This is all of course the  fault of my co-president in all things important, Courtney who is cooler than all of us. While there are holes in the song choices (read: You Suck by The Murmurs) there are some unexpected finds (The Klaxons singing No Diggity, which instantly transported me into fits of delight)

I’ve been thinking about critique groups, and online ones in particular. Is anyone a member of one? This writing caper is such a lonely job, its just me sitting in front of Albert my laptop trying to make sense of the jumble on the page. I sometimes think that it would be easier if I had someone (or someones) who I could nut out plot problems and things. (That is my main problem, FYI – my characters are deeply amusing but don’t seem to want to do much. Arguably, that would be how you know they are mine). Are they a help? What about offline? Where do you even find them?

I still intend to expound my Richmond theory, even if it is “WHY EVERYONE GOES FOR RICHMOND EVEN IF THEY ARE THE SUCKIEST BUNCH OF SUCKS THAT EVER SUCKED AND COULDN’T HIT THE SIDE OF A BARN WITH A FOOTBALL.” Ahem. Let’s just say that it was disappointing, and next week we play Geelong which always ends well for us.***

***Well stuffed. I remember the exact moment I heard the score for that game in 2007 when we lost by 150K points. I said a rude word or twelve.
