Posts Tagged ‘writers’ groups’

Last night, I attended my first Irish writers’ group.  I’ve been involved in writers’ groups before, but never in a foreign country, so I was a little bit anxious about what to expect.

It was pretty much like groups in the U.S - each member brought in copies of the piece they were working on to be read and critiqued.  They varied in their genre of interest and ability to get their ideas across.  As a new member, I didn’t bring anything with me, deciding that it might be wise to simply observe.

I’m not sure if my bun was too tight or if it was the yellow reflection on the paper from the stark, fluorescent lights, but I left there with a horrible headache.

Overall, it was a pretty good evening and I plan on returning on the third Tuesday of next month.
