First Writing Groups

I think what will turn out to be very beneficial with my writing group is that I have had many English classes with all of them and worked with them before. There's an increased familiarity there. It's also a means of getting me to actually have multiple drafts of my paper, which doesn't often happen. However, there is a downside to this: sometimes I like to write my papers in chunks, rather than full drafts, but we'll see.

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to have three whole people that I know I can go to about any issues I may be having with the writing; they will know the paper, know the topic, and be able to give much better feedback than a random friend I have skim over it during passing time. Also, a somewhat non writing process related bonus is that we all get to read other people's papers! I always really like reading others' writing, especially for things like the personal narrative, and classes don't often get to do that.
