Never Did Writing Groups

I never got around to the writing group thing. Once, a publisher that I was submitting to required their writers to be members of writer groups, so I joined a local one. But even though they have emailed me about their meetings, I never made it to one.

The reason I'm bringing it up right now is because I just received another email advising me of another meeting that's taking place. But I don't suppose I'll go to that one either.

Maybe if I was younger, single and had no kids I would go to them. But when I was younger, single, and had no kids, I wasn't writing books. I was writing music. I was drawing, painting, and sculpting. I had a great time at San Jose State's Art Department.

It seems to me that even though they are probably good things to do for aspiring writers, I just don't have the time. No, I'd rather just write, and when that's done, revise.
