I suppose if you ask 10 writers why they do what they do, you'd get 10 different answers.
Writing is a very personal craft.
I'm often asked how I choose what I write every day and the simple answer is, I don't know, it just happens. Many writers don't have that luxury, and getting comments is one of the best ways to improve writing skills. A diverse collection of about two dozen local writers have formed the Temecula Christian Writers Critique Group, which is part of the larger San Diego Christian Writers Guild, to provide each other with support and encouragement. At the heart of the San Diego guild are the smaller critique groups that meet from Chula Vista to Poway and La Jolla to Temecula on a monthly basis. Meanwhile, Rob Stroud, a military chaplain who moved to Temecula in 1998, had sent a letter to area churches asking them to advertise in their bulletins that he wanted to start a Christian writers' group.
