We write with pen and paper (leave your laptop at home, unless you need asssistive tech) to prompts during the meetup. We are all about the creativity and support, not critique. No degree of separation. No fame. Just writers writing. Authentic. Whimsical. Vulnerable. "It's all true, none of it's true, don't ask." We often spend too much time thinking about writing instread of writing. Our group meets to spend time writing. After we get our coffee, we pick a prompt (phrases, pictures) and a time …

As a transplant from Seattle, I've been missing my poetry workshop mates and I haven't discovered a group on here or in this city that quite fits. I'd like to have a place that provides opportunity for serious workshopping of poetry, as well as helps fellow poets write new poetry and have a safe place to share their poetry and experiment. How this workshop would run: Groups shouldn't exceed 5 people, so if there were more folks then we would split into smaller groups. Everyone, if they so choose …

Writing comedy and humor of any form is not easy. Doing it on a regular basis is even harder. This comedy/humor writing group is open to anyone of any level who writes in any format. We meet each week for an hour or two. The length will depend on the space, if the room is reserved, the number of people who show up, blah, blah, blah. We'll start off writing, then reading, probably BSing and then, maybe, drinking or eating. We'll give you writing prompts if needed. Read what you wrote that day or …

Metaphor is always with us in: what we read and write; what we see in media, film, T.V. and photography; in all forms of the arts, including the art of telling our stories from poetry to cultural fables to personal story, but it is also embedded in psychology and education. Metaphors are powerful and enrich our lives, but they also can have destructive impacts or sell us down the garden path making us think we need things that we don't. This Meetup will look at the art of metaphor. I will bring …

Mission: Ideally, we’d like 6-8 regular attendees to monthly contribute 8-12 pages (double-space, 12 pt font) of commercial fiction*. Format: workshopping. Intention: Everybody ‘gets time’. Motto: Always honest, but never mean. 6-8 regular attendees. Regular implies some level of commitment and allows for remembering each other’s plot lines, characters, revisions, etc. We’re trying to create a writing lab, a safe haven from the writing jungle: a ‘place’ to nurture experimentation + take chances …

This is a group for anyone interested in writing Middle Grade and Young Adult stories and novels. We will meet twice a month; one time to quietly read and then openly critique 8-12 pages from something you're working on, and the other time to just take time away from our busy day to focus on writing for an hour or two. I'd like to find 5-8 other writers who want to form a little community to help each other and improve our own writing, while sharing successes. You do not have to be published to …

Let's get together and write. Bring markers, tools, anything that you know makes a good line and get to it. Calligraphers, graffiti writers, brush letterers, informal writers with bad handwriting, design and type lovers should all show up to this. Writing is freedom through form, and we can make beauty without worrying about whether it looks perfect. If you have a specific way of writing, it might be fun to teach the group what and how you write. Hope to see you there.

All we need is to open our raw creative energy and apply it to our field of interest. This Meetup can enhance our creativity by teaching and learning from one another, by shar …
