I'd always been opposed to the idea. I'd always written alone, at my computer, free from distraction, and I'd always been pretty self-motivated as well. But then, a little more than a year ago, my friends and I started writing together.<br /><br />Now I have one screenplay finished and another more than halfway through, and I've never been more productive in my life.<br /><br />We don't critique. We don't even share really--but when someone wants feedback, someone is always around to provide. We're accountable to one another. Write Club meets Sunday afternoons, and as a writer, it's one of the healthiest things I've ever done.<br /><br />Harrison Demchick<br />Developmental Editor, <a href="http://ambitiousenterprises.com" rel="nofollow">Ambitious Enterprises</a>Harrison Demchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18341713037648122172noreply@blogger.com
