Meetup Guadalajara

So, I have found an interesting meetup of writers in Guadalajara!!!
There was very few persons in the meeting but very talented, they read their stories and I read my poems and they gave me awesome feedback and more ideas of how I can make them better, is amazing how with  just 5 people I could get such different comments/points of view to make my poems  look/feel different

The moderator of the group is an American self publish author  living in Guadalajara, Jalisco and she is very good, next week we are going to work on how to build characters for our stories.

So the idea of all this is that I can keep coming to this sessions and keep continue working in my poems but also start planning for the Book Project because I want to publish a fiction story someday :)

Have any of you been published before? What was your experience? Any suggestions?
