Lots to think about in regards to a great writing group. I've been meeting weekly with my grad school writers' group for almost 2 years now (it was twice weekly back in 2020), and we've really had
a lot of these questions come up over the months. # of people, scheduling, frequency, type of content. We have switched it around a lot, but at least 2 people do present every week, even if it's the same people for a few weeks in a row when someone's working on a project, or
someone's currently busy. In 2020, we all worked on collectively 20 projects (a group of 4-5). It's a lot slower now, with jobs opening up and shit, but it really gladdens me that we still meet regularly and still help each other so much with our crafts.
While I've had friends read my work over the years, the value and structure that a real writers' group provides is priceless. The constant motivation, feedback and collaborations is so helpful in getting my butt in the chair and writing frequently.
I'm also grateful that my group of friends from grad school is as tight knit as it is. Even though we've all changed over the years, there's a natural flow and rhythm we've adapted that is so wonderful.
