What form does s good writing group take? I'm hoping to gather some suggestions from anyone that has attended a group that works well.

Jimmy, I asked W&A a while ago about this, and they said they were looking into sorting it out. It really is very confusing.

@ S.A Barlow: You live in the middle of nowhere? I live 1000m up a mountain, 8km from the nearest village and even further from my Internet connection.

"I wonder if anybody has experience with online writing groups?"

Well, there's https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/community/shared-work

but it seems that every time that you add a new work, your previous work is erased to make room for it... and the comments that people made on your previous work are transferred to your new piece. Very confusing. Or can somebody with more W&A experience explain how to share more than one work?

I've never been part of one, I live in the middle of nowhere so its hard to find other people. I wonder if anybody has experience with online writing groups?
