Start a Writers' Workshop

If your mentoring and advocating activities have been going well, you may be surrounded by others who also want to start writing patterns. Encourage them, share your experiences, and mentor them. Writers' workshops (see Chapter 5) are good venues for reviewing and improving patterns. If there's no group near you, start a writers' workshop of your own.
