Should I join a songwriters group. I was runner up in a songwriting contest, honorable mention no prize. My dream was always to sing, but I'm nearly 39 (March 11th is the big day) and think maybe if I focused on another area it might prove beneficial or at least be fun, but I keep putting off joining though. Maybe I should just buck up and sign up.

The group meets twice a month is about an hour away, so it's doable. I've had lots of my song ideas stolen and made into hits, I know I need some work but have a knack of somesort. Just makes me nervous to join a group including actually professionally I feel like a total novice.
