Writing
I taught writing for a long time–but have also banged my head against the wall in frustration as a writer. I still do! I frequently need inspiration and support in my own writing process so I thought I would share some resources with my writing friends. I hope I can help.

Writing Group 101 includes my basic advice on how to launch, reboot or join a writing group. A critique group can help writers propel a project forward and receive critical support to go the distance, yet it is a challenge to find a group that is the right fit.
My advice on How to Give Feedback gives some basic tips to help writing group members give effective feedback.
Writing Group Tools
I share free online tools to help writing groups find success. Your writing group is free to use any of these tools as often as you like or you may refer to them as you develop a structure for your own group. Tools include:
Determine if the writing group is the right fit.
Set clear expectations for group members.
Share writing with your critique group.
Submit feedback on writing pieces.
Evaluate your group’s effectiveness.Â
