Ive never had a writers group and think i might find it too much competing input. But love the idea of a writefs room to create a shared story.

Sorry, not a group, a retreat. We spent the day writing quietly, doing our own thing, but we’d gather for meals and stuff and sometimes talk it out. It wasn’t "now everyone share their work and critique each other" or anything like that, but a bunch of writers in a building creating a writing vibe.
Retreats are wonderful. Even solo retreats are great - somewhere away from the usual push and pull of life - but retreats with a group of committed writers, everyone focused on their work, the craft, the purpose, can be magical.
Everyone collaborating on one story is cool - when it comes to my own story, I guard it like Gollum and only a select few I trust as a sounding board.
