Group Writing

In the 90s a group of women and I formed an on-line writing group.

We came from Switzerland, US, Germany, the UK, Israel and Australia. We had met through our membership in the International Women's Writing Group whose goal it to "empowering women writers with innovative and diverse professional resources, mentoring, and support."

We are still in contact, although we've lost two of our members.

What bonded us together was putting together an anthology of interlocking short stories all set in Camden Market in London.

The book was written prior to the internet so we had to rely on descriptions of people who had been there. 

We developed our characters, shared them and then decided which ones would appear in the work of others. Emails burned up the internet as we shared our progress.

A cover was decided on. 

The book is available in Kindle and paperback https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Found-Camden-Ann-Hacker-ebook/dp/B00IMHJH8Y

Although we never did a second project, between email and Facebook we are in contact with varying frequency. Some of us who are geographically close have met in person. We know of each other's successes and frustrations, our moves, our kids. 

How lucky I was to run across these talented, kind women. It would be lovely if we could all be in the same place at the same time, but time, money and distance make that unlikely. It's not important because we been in the same place for decades whenever we open our email or Facebook. 

They are there in my computer and my heart.
