View On Writing Groups

I don't really know what to expect from this group writing project thing. It could be helpful and fun but it could also be the exact opposite. I never get serious writers block and if I do get a little, it doesn't last long. Figuring out what to write about is pretty easy for me to do as well. I'm not trying to sound narcissistic, but I don't need much help in those aspects. I think some constructive criticism would probably do some good. I could definitely help other people. I could collaborate with them to create new post ideas, help them edit, all that good stuff. Although I'm not always the greatest explainer, trying never hurts.
I think it would be a good idea to work with friends along with people who write about similar subjects. With friends, you're not afraid to point out their flaws in writing and all around more comfortable. Working with people of the same writing genre is also a good idea because there would be cumulative understanding about the subject within the group. Some good guidelines would be: 1) Don't be an ass. 2) Do your work. The first one takes care of a lot of them but to name a couple, be nice when criticizing and help people who need it. Well, that's my perspective on this, take it or leave it.
