Online Writing Groups

One of my first pieces of advice for you is if you don’t have writing friends, you need someone.

Will this make or break you? No.

However, talking with other writers about what they are writing, what you are writing, and your struggles or successes will be incredible.

Not everyone has an active writing group in their area, or maybe there is just not enough time in the day for you to go.

These groups have online communities you can talk to at various times of the year.

Camp NaNoWriMo

This is just like NaNoWriMo now. There are writing groups you can start or join that are active now all year long. The writing can be focused on whatever you need—writing Camps run in April and July.

Story A Day

This is a group for those wanting to expand their short story works. Writers can get as involved as they wish with prompts, podcasts, or be part of the superstars’ group. Julie Duffy hosts this in May and September each year.

NaNoWriMo

This group is much like the camp version, except everyone is trying to get to 50,000 words in November. Writers are divided into regional writing groups close to where they live so they can participate in local write-ins.
