So I started following this writing blog in 2009 when I was working through the submission process for "Bryony."
I've followed this blog for so long, I remember when Writers Digest recognized it in 2013, which gave me plenty of reassurance I was receiving solid advice.
So when a call went out a few months ago for a few guest bloggers, I submitted a couple ideas.
One was "10 Signs of a Healthy Writer's Group."
That's because, through the years, this blog and others I've followed, posted signs of unhealthy groups.
But I couldn't recall ever reading one that really highlighted what a healthy one looked like.
WriteOn Joliet has its flaws, certainly.
But it's overall very positive place for writers to receive feedback and support.
So when my pitch was suggested, I was told a requirement was being available the day it went live to respond to comments in a timely manner.
Well, I was actually in the ER Saturday night when it posted - and fortunately very available.
The points made in this blog, I think, apply to any group, writers or otherwise.
Please enjoy!
