I founded a critique group called the Writers of the Purple Page about fifteen years ago. (The name came about one evening after too much wine, but it stuck) I and all the surviving original members are still involved. Our oldest member passed away at 91, a week after his last article was published.

Our only rule has always been that we have NO rules. It's kind of like our Declaration of Independence. Lots of people want to join, but we pretty much limit new members to people we like. New people always want to make rules, so we have to declare our independence all over again.

Everyone in the group is a published author and we have several books in which we are credited.
