Read an essay about my trip to Coba, Mexico, to a group of writers. Writers say they appreciate what you wrote, but feel free to comment on your craft. Reading to them is like volunteering to try out the noose. The group was kind and complimentary. By gosh, I might try that again.

You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that!
