Crit Groups

Currently listening to: Bach... again.

Here's the problem with living in Malaysia for a fantasy writer.

When it boils down to finding beta readers and a proper crit group...it's difficult. Not impossible, just difficult.

There are no workshops, no conventions, no writer's group that could actually provide that much needed boost when things get tough. I have wonderful friends who keep me afloat when the rejections pour in, I am thankful for that...but still...

There are technical details in writing that only fellow writers could point out...Attending conventions and meeting the right people would definitely help with keeping one up-to-date with what's hot in the market, what works, what doesn't.

I've often considered moving there...Considering it again now.
