As most writers know, the success of a writer comes down to the amount of time your butt is planted firmly in the chair and you are writing something.

I highly recommend joining a writing organization, but I’ll be the first one to tell you that writing organizations are not for everyone. There are pros and cons that you should be aware of. |
