Hello and thanks for stopping by to take a look. As you know or will soon discover, writing can be a very solitary craft. So, this group’s primary purpose is to shine a little light on that solitude in order to keep us both focused and motivated. While we will be scheduling face-to-face meet-ups, this group’s primary means of support will be via telephone conference calls. Join us and you will always know that you are not alone. Most Sincerely, Mark
