Random Bookshelf Reading 36

Question:  This week?

Answer:  "Making a Commitment  It is important that each member make a commitment to the group that he or she can keep.  Such a commitment can be made after testing the waters for a few meetings.  Perhaps it's for a preset amount of time--say, three months.  It's not that everyone has to make every single meeting, but a sense of constancy makes participation in the group more valuable to everyone involved. It's likely that some people will value the group so much, they will remain members as long as the writing circle stays together.  It's also perfectly natural for people to leave and then to come back." (p.196)
