Writers groups mostly waste time.

He analyzed the sentence structure of great writers as diverse as Hemingway and Faulkner. In any case, I have used his guidance for over thirty years of -- I trust -- good success with student groups as different as the PEO Sisterhood of Greenwood County, Kansas to the Aryan Brotherhood and Black Gangster Disciples, this last group of writers imprisoned at Richard Donovan Maximum Security Correctional Facility just across the border from Mexico. Give a look for the book, buddy, and if you have no luck, give me a shout. Take care, cowboy.
