Just as I was beginning to miss the writers group, I realized why I pulled out: a note from a member who put me on a mailing list for donations to a favorite charity. No "hey, you been writing at all?" or "you know, I’ve been working on something I’d like to have the group go over…"
There’ve been only a couple members who have been in touch and who have brought up the possibility of a meeting again. It’s difficult to keep a group together unless there’s some real passion. You don’t need a huge gathering of like minds, and certainly with the arts, there’s a wide range of interest within each individual member as the mood swings with the inspiration.
But jeez; to be contacted only for a donation?
