New Writing Group--GoPRO!

I'm very excited to announce the formation of a new writing group! This group is open to all writers intent upon completing their first manuscript in 2010.

As an original member of Amy Atwell's GIAM goals group, now expanded to 4 groups, I am proud to be a moderator for this new group. This group is not affiliated with any national organization, but we want all writers who are serious about completing their first full-length novels.

WritingGIAM, a community of Yahoo loops that bring together writers who are willing to set and track their progress toward stated writing goals, is pleased to announce the opening of their newest Goals Loop:

WritingGIAM_GoPRO

Conceived as a way to bring together writers working toward the completion of their first full-length novel, this loop offers support to those who want to reach their goal during the calendar year of 2010. That's right, everyone who joins the loop shares the same major writing goal: to complete their first novel during 2010. Within RWA, this is the first step to achieving "PRO" status. Hence, the loop's name.

This loop is open to ALL writers of any genre. Writers do not have to be members of RWA, however, if they aren't RWA members, they should have a recommendation from a current GIAMer.

How does it work? Members post their annual goals to the loop. These are archived. Every week, members are reminded to post their ongoing progress and accomplishments. The loop provides a forum for discussing the challenges writers face as they try to finish a manuscript. Moderators on the loop are all writers with one or more finished manuscripts, and periodically, other guests will join the loop to answer questions and offer support.

Think of it--what might you accomplish if you knew other people were waiting to hear how much you'd written in the past week?

Best wishes to all writers in achieving their goals during 2010!

Please consider joining this group if you have been struggling with completing your first novel. Along with hugs and encouragement, we can provide a swift kick in the tookus if needed! Throughout the year, we will have guests who will give their insight into the writing process.

Write on!
