I want to be a writer and would like as much encouragement as a can get. I'd also like to encourage others and discuss the joys and difficulties of the writer's craft. There aren't any writer's groups in my area and I wouldn't have enough time to attend as I might like to anyway. Does anyone know of any very good writers groups online? Also, is such a thing as being too old to start writing fiction, etc. Thanks.

First I'd like to address your age question - no way is there such a thing as too old to start writing fiction! In fact, the older you are, the more experience and wisdom you have to draw from as a writing resource.
I used to belong to various online critique groups - some were helpful, others, not so much. The one I still utilize and find the most helpful is Zoetrope, which is a creative site started by Francis Ford Coppola. In order to have your writing reviewed by your peers there, you must first critique other people's work. For every set number of stories you critique, you are allowed to submit one of your own stories for review. I've received lots of great constructive criticism through that site.

AbsoluteWrite is the nice on-line creator's organization I realize of that is now not style-certain. They comprise screenwriting, fiction, nonfiction, and approximately each and every type of writing there's. Many of the regulars have books out--truly books they did not pay to post. You too can be taught what you must realize approximately screenwriting at IMDb's Shop Talk Writers and at Done Deal.

look it up on google.com or some other search engine and you can ask that question and spend about 30 min or so looking and you probably will be set
