Many people have asked me if I'm going to have a writing group, or a group of people that read my manuscripts ahead of time and offer their input. I've struggled with this because I am very much a person that likes to bounce ideas off others and find out what their opinions are. I'm not sure how that will affect credit and I sure don't want to end up in a position where someone is suing me because I used their idea or opinion.
What thoughts do you have on writing groups? Are they helpful? Do they worry you?
Here is a great article on writing groups from one of my very favorite authors. You might find it interesting.
