I've been involved with a writers group for a few weeks now. No... actually, its been a few months now. How time flies. Each time we meet I get to see something new; a new style of writing, a new genre, and new philosophies.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and that's ok. How dull would the world be if everyone had the same way of thinking. The vast differences between all of us have created an atmosphere of creativity that I've never seen. Each one of us brings something completely different to the table and that makes for so much more fun! I even get picked on by one of the other writers for my obsessive attitude toward grammar! (What a hoot she is!)

In a group as eclictic as ours you can't help but walk away with new ideas for whatever project you happen to be working on. It's been so helpful to me that I half to recommend to everyone. That's one of the big reason's why I love DA. It's a community where people can share thoughts and ideas and philosophies with constructive criticism to grow and evolve as an artist.

But there's something to be said for the human element. Get a group together to meet face to face and talk about what you're all working on. Listen and learn from each other. You'll be a better artist for it.
