This is an adult creative writing group for people who seek motivation from fellow writers to keep up a regular practice, complete pieces and set goals for next steps.  Monthly readings and other events serve as deadlines to get new work accomplished.  Come prepared to give and receive a supportive yet critical ear.  Together we can tap into a greater motivation and celebrate our combined literary strength and diversity.  Enjoy...learn...grow.  Keep writing and see you soon!
