That said I am the first to admit I am no master at creating funny material on a consistent basis and I really only practice writing-funny when the mood strikes. Thus this Milford Amateur Comedy Writing Sessions created to encourage me and those who dare join me - to excercise c …

Before joining us it is highly recommended that you have some length of time in recovery from addictions that may impact your ability to do this work safely. You …

This group offers a forum for writers to learn and exchange practical information they need to get published. Members gather to ask questions and give advice about every stage of the publishing process, from writing a manuscript to querying an agent to negotiating a contract.

But the adventure need not fade with the fall of the las …
