This group was founded with the purpose of having fun, enhancing creativity, and exploring new ideas about artistry. Our goal is to launch projects into the world with the collaboration of like-minded individuals. Enough of the classroom…it's time to get creating. Our first meet up is about busting through mental blocks, fears, and resistance to reconnect to your creative side.     Who this meet up will benefit:   o   Are you a person who avoids at all costs sitting down to write, paint, rehears …

Welcome to my writing groups.Writers who have studied with me are organizing group writing dates that will meet regularly. These groups are free and open to everyone.Group "writing dates" are not for critiquing. They're an opportunity to write with company. It has been my experience, with my own writing practice and several hundred students, that isolation is the main ingredient of writing blocks. If all you do is meet another writer once a week to write for thirty minutes, your entire practice …

This is a group for writers who want to master powerful strategies to write better. The organizer, Charles Euchner, is a former teacher and administrator at Yale and Harvard and the author of a number of acclaimed works on politics, sports, civil rights, and more. The approach: Euchner has developed what he called a "brain-based system" for writing well. What's that mean?  It means that if you understand how the brain works -- how the brain gets engaged or confused, what makes it excited or bore …

Two of us - a gay male writer and a lesbian female writer - decided to create a group for LGBTs who are serious about their writing, and want to share their work in an environment that understands and celebrates LGBT literature. The purpose of the group is to support each other's writing endeavors through positive encouragement, thoughtful critique and celebration. The format is biweekly meetings during which we discuss the work of two or three writers, depending on length of submissions. We'll …

Writers mostly write. Besides writing, the second most important act is submitting. I'd like to meet once a month with a group of writers who are submitting their work.  During this meeting we can exchange ideas about motivation, where to submit certain kinds of work and the mechanics of submitting material. We can map out strategies for submitting work and make committments to the group about the process.

Its seems that whenever anything "artsy" is going on in NYC it's always happening in Manhattan or somewhere in Brooklyn these days. So where are all the artists who live in Queens? Queens is the most diverse borough in NYC so it only seems logical that we be the most creative, innovative, well-rounded and artsy bunch. The purpose of this group is to get all you artists, photographers, musicians, filmmakers, and performers who live in this most amazing borough together and support each other, bui …
