So I thought, why not start a writers\u2019 group? That way, I won\u2019t be all on my own. I\u2019ll have some support and encouragement as I try to do something that\u2019s new and challenging.\u201d<br \/>\nThe camaraderie is key. Meetings are planned for Wednesday evenings at members\u2019 homes, and will rotate among those who can accommodate the group.<br \/>\n\u201cThere are so many opportunities for writers today with digital media alongside traditional magazines, newspapers and hard copy books,\u201d said Gigi Cockerill, a founding member.<br \/>\nWriting of any kind is an art form that requires practice and skill. Having relationships with other aspiring writers will be a real source of inspiration for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; The Beacon Hill Times, February 18, 2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beacon Hill has it all, we like to think.
