Feeling like you lack the time or the inspiration to get started or finish your writing, whether it is a book, poem or series of short stories? Then this is the group for you. I find that it is hard with work and our busy schedules to find the time or the discipline (in my case) to finish pieces I have nearing completion or to begin new projects. I have been writing since I can remember and would like to turn those glowing embers into a fierce blaze again. We will generally meet the 2nd Tuesda …

The Columbus House of Scribes is the original group of that name, following the takeover of the original Meetup group page by organizers not affiliated with the group. We are dedicated to providing an open, friendly group to encourage your writing in whatever form it may take, as well as providing critiques for anything you would like to share, and writing voluntary monthly prompt responses as both writing exercises and to possibly spark new ideas. All writers, of any genre or format, are welcom …

Song circles are a great way to get a song "out there" in a setting that isn't quite as stressful as performing, and where members come with the idea of getting help, and being willing to help others, with perspective on songs we've written, suggestions for re-writes, new sections etc. So, it's a balance: all of us who write are likely to be sensitive about criticism but we also know we need critique if we are going to improve as songwriters, so a song circle must be comprised of people bold eno …

If you write, chances are someone wants to read it. If they'd want to read it, let's make sure that when they do read it, they want to read more! That means you're going to have to accept some basic realities, the first of which is: not all writers get paid for their work. Personally, I think that's a shame. If you're a writer, I want you to get paid! I want you to develop a reader-base so you can get your imagined realities out there for other people to enjoy! So, what this group will be …

Whether you blog for fun or as part of your work, you'll find kindred spirits here, and if you're just thinking about writing on the Web, stop on by and see what it's all about. Our meetings start with a round of introductions (if you have a specific question or problem, that's a great time to mention it) and then we spend anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour discussing a specific topic about blogging. Most meetings have no specific end time, …

"This is a group for poetry writers who would like to listen to and share their poems with others who love poetry! I could not find a meet up group for just poetry so I thought I would try to start one! We could share our poems and poetry book recommendations and advice with our favorite beverage and appetizer somewhere (restaurants, our homes). I was thinking we could meet once a month, maybe the last Thursday of the month. I am a definite amateur so even if you haven't written many poems join …

This group will focus on banned and/or challenged books. I would like to meet at the Louisville Public Library but am willing to entertain ideas for other venues. I would also like to see when people would like to hold the meetings but am currently leaning towards Monday evenings. We will start with Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. Then we will vote for the next book from the top 100 on this Goodreads list http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1360.Best_Banned_and …
