We write... we draw... we color! Spark your creativity through writing. You don't have to be a writer or even have a daily journaling practice to attend. Nor do you have to be creative.

Many evenings we work on art journal pages, mandala design or a combination of free writing …

Quality, commitment, honesty, that's what we're about.   See that low number for members on the home page?  It's meant to be that way, but a few more can't hurt.   We are a committed, interactive group of writers who want to write and get competent feedback on our work.  Though any genre is acceptable, commercial selling and marketing is not the first goal, excellent writing is.  Any age and skill level is welcome, as long as you are quite serious about exploring or continuing the craft of writi …

The purpose of the Writers Group is bringing like-minded people together and share a passion for writing scripts and screenplays. If you have an idea for TV or a movie and want to write, this is for you. Even if you haven't finished the first draft, come talk about story development, characters, dialogue, structure, and scenes. We believe writers need to be around people who "get them" for support and inspiration. The Writers Groups offers feedback, discusses writing habits (what works and what …

I started this group because so many of us have forgotten the pure creative spirit that enveloped us as children. Whether it was experienced at play, drawing, painting, reading, telling stories, making up songs, building things or taking things apart!, dressing up, dancing, singing, playing an instrument, writing and most of all the forgotten art of daydreaming and fantasizing. These activities get lost in the "Everydays" of life as we grow older. For some it is lost early on while others can ma …

HI EVERYONE!!! I'm a designer, living in Philly. I have an unbelievable passion for creating stories, using story boards and pictures. Wanted to see if anyone shared my passion.

Maybe start a team which we can just take an idea and run with it. I just want to know if …

I am trying to build a team to help me with a project I'm working on. I am looking for software developers, artists, and writers. I would also love to turn this meetup into a fun, social meetup.
