    I’m also looking for a group for accountability and critiques. What I’m writing varies but the novel in progress may be a type of urban/contemporary fantasy. It’s set initially in a software company that is connected to a magically manufacturered world. Both worlds are used as settings as they are threatened by the same magically-derived quantum problem. Warning: I pantsed the whole thing so far (114,000 words) because I spent too much of my life writing to the strictures of tv episodes and thought this would be fun. It has been fun and its a light, amusing novel hopefully but it also a tad ungainly. For the type of novel it is, I should be sending in only maybe max 100,000 words but it looks like rough draft will be at 130,000 now.
    How would a writers circle work here? Do we do our own zoom meetings once a week or so? Email stories or pieces of? I’ve never really even been in a writing group, so I don’t know how it’s organized. But it would be great to get feedback.
