After stumbling along, doing some writing here or there and making amateur mistakes, I realized I needed help.
Since I joined RWA over 12 years ago, I've learned more about writing than I ever have from how-to books, magazines or conferences. Each meeting is like a class, with writing discussions and critiques, writers encouraging other writers, and ideas flowing. We share our disappointments, along with our victories. Also, our celebrations.
The top photo and the one below are from our annual Holiday Party.

If you're serious about being a writer, consider joining a writing group such as Chicago-North RWA like I did. For more information on Chicago-North RWA, check out our website at http://chicagonorthrwa.org
