Maya's April Blog



The typical scenario for most of us. Before the spring we have unused Christmas presents gathering dust. By February new year’s resolutions get broken. Now into April I am pleased to say because of joining The Writers Group in January, I have actually managed to stick to my new year’s resolution till spring. I always make the same resolution, which is to progress with my writing. By the end of the month (if I get that far) the resolution gets broken. A couple of close friends of mine emailed me the link to The Phoenix Writers group around Christmas time. It is certainly a present that I am going to cherish. It will not be gathering dust as many of my drafts of works in progress have.

The word/task of the week activity alone gets me writing something. The positive feedback I have already received has already taken me out of my comfort zone. I am writing this blogspot for a start. Coming to this group has already got me thinking about starting my own blog.

I echo what Leah said in the previous post I feel my writing has been nurtured and I am growing as a writer. The atmosphere is inspiring and welcoming and I not feel like the new girl in the group.
