Being part of a writing group means exposing your work to the scalpels of your peers - at least it should be. If it isn't, look for a proper writing group, not a mutual admiration society. Your ego's already so inflated that you believe other people want to read your stuff, so it doesn't need further pumping.
It was my turn t'other day to add my views to the Renegade Writers blog. I was late of course, as everyone expected...
Merlin told Arthur to "Learn how the world wags, and what wags it". Probably because he couldn't work it out either. With advancing years comes increasing bafflement...

I just wanted to say that I love your book. I'm about a quarter way in. laughed at some bits too. I think Cubby is brill. Look forward to reading the rest.
