Local writing group

I've joined one. Hopefully, this will help kick my ass out of the rut-that-looks-suspiciously-grave-like, and I'll start putting down new words again.

Wish me luck, folks.

ETA: Also? You people rawk.

Best of luck, Mac! Kindle those fires!

Heh. There's something about having to actually look people in the eye that makes it rather tougher to blow off making time to put down new words.

Hopefully, anyway.

I just really need to rebuild a habit around writing every day.

Ooo, fun! Good luck!

Good luck, Mac! Anything that gets your ass in a chair and words on paper/screen is a good thing.

This is the sort of thing I really like to hear!

Ooh, good luck!

Cool! Good luck.

awesome. *crosses fingers*

Good luck, Mac! I hope it goes stupendously well, and that we get to see some new stuff from you.

Well done. I hope it's fun, too.

Yay! That is excellent! So very happy for you. BIC time is a lot easier to manage when you have people to answer to. :)

Plus f2f really helps get out the synergistic comments from a team.

I hope you got a good group!

They're a good bunch of peeps who are actively submitting, publishing, editing, and are pretty cool and laid back, even while they're highly motivated. So this is a good thing, I'm thinkin'.

/snoopydance for you

[identity profile] bmlg.livejournal.com 2010-03-21 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds ideal - and having to show up with stuff is a great motivator. So pleased for you and hope it leads to pages and pages of challenge and fun.

Good luck--I hope it's a stimulating, positive experience.

Write, Damnit! Write, write, write!

Don't make me come over there and stand over your shoulder while you do it!

@=)

[identity profile] mac-stone.livejournal.com 2010-03-21 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! Exactly! I DO need someone to stand over my shoulder and crack a whip. At least some days...

Great! Use those deadlines and expectations to your advantage! And remember your VP Oath.

I wish you the best of luck with your new group.

A good group is quite invaluable. :)

[identity profile] bogwitch64.livejournal.com 2010-03-19 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Good luck!! Woohoo!

[identity profile] athenais.livejournal.com 2010-03-20 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
It's the best thing in the world for a writer who has trouble sitting down to get the words out. I'm so glad for you!

[identity profile] enggirl.livejournal.com 2010-03-20 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
LUCK!
I found a group a while back and it helped me get out of the rut. Even though we write alone, we crave the company of others who know what we go through to do this thing. It's all good :)

[identity profile] sartorias.livejournal.com 2010-03-20 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
YAY!

[identity profile] erikas-mansarde.livejournal.com 2010-03-20 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck, Mac. May I read the first story/chapter that you'll get written?

[identity profile] mac-stone.livejournal.com 2010-03-21 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Careful what you ask for...

In all seriousness, I'll probably be begging for betas right here, at some point. Cheers!

Still volunteering.
You might have to send me an email, though, because I am so bad at reading lj entries at times.

*holds hand up timidly*

Oh, you KNOW the Xmen are gonna be on the top of my list. :D

A truck full of luck is on the way, Mac.
