I've been in a "writers' group" for about a year, and it has been very valuable to me. It's an interesting group, since I'm the only one there primarily interested in writing fiction. Sometimes their "criticism" is a bit off base (but I told them at the start that I have an unrealistically resilient ego and I want to hear every comment and viewpoint), and sometimes they have a different vision of the story than I do -- but even in the most off-base critique I've been able to find something useful.

Overall, I recommend it.
