No, I don't have a writing group. I do have a friend of sorts who gives me feedback, and I have a few others I can ask to review material. I did this with my last novel, which was never published.
I have finished a first draft of a second chapter. It's terrible and the entire thing will have to be thrown out on rewrites, but I'm pressing ahead anyways. It's important to keep moving, so I can get to the later chapters which are much more interesting and exciting. Right now I'm just sounding out the plot and characters. I don't really outline, I prefer to 'pants' it, which takes longer. I do have an extensive notes file, but that's not a proper outline.
