Quickwrite: Writing Groups

If I'm going to be working with peers for blogging or any type of writing, I would like to have some ideas on what to write about. Sometimes I don't even know what to write about. I can't really think of anything interesting to write about instead of how was my day. I know there are millions of topics to write about, but then since there is a certain amount of words that are required (300-400), i want to write about something that I have knowledge about. Sometimes there are amazing topics that I can write about, but then I just need to know more about it instead of just write random babbling in order to get to 300 words.

If I'm going to be in a group with people, I would like to be in a group with friends; friends who I talk to a lot and who are comfortable with. Because we can open up with each other and we can say what are our mistakes and help edit each other's work without feeling... embarrassed. But working with people you're not so comfortable with is pretty hard, especially if you don't really socialize with many people and if you're quiet. Also, it is more fun to work with friends anyways.

I think the only rule for writing in groups is if someone is not comfortable sharing something with everyone, then they don't have to read it. Maybe what they wrote is personal and they're not ready to read it just yet; but we might think 'why would you write something personal if you don't want it to be read? Especially if it's going to be on a blog post where some people are going to be reading?' Well, maybe he/she don't want to read it out loud? There are many reasons why, so we can't force them to read it if they don't want to.
