I'm looking for other serious writers who'll meet Tuesdays and often Fridays!! for a few hours a week (occasionally more) at the Farmington CT Borders 1600 South East Road or sometimes in other locations.

ATTENTION! For the month of NOVEMBER 2009 we have extra meetings. In addition, we're posting another group's meetings, the write-ins for the NaNoWriMo Connecticut North. For more information about those events (which are posted here, but which we're not organizing) please check out the nanowrimo site: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/node/244

Our main activity = scribbling in a notebook or tapping on a laptop.

I write fiction full time but my self-discipline has broken down and I need to change my routine.

"Writing a book can be lonely and intimidating when you are trying to go it alone, but often when writers get together they do more talking than writing.

This is a group to fill in the gap. It is for writers who would like the structure and energy of working around other writers, but don't want the time to be spent in time-killing chit-chat.

The focus is to get out of neutral, feel the support and energy of other writers and get to work on dreaded manuscript in a comfortable environment."

--Jessica Trapp


I'm willing to help arrange crits or talk industry, but mostly I want to work and hope you do too.

There are only two rules:
1. be prepared to work
2. don't disturb anyone else who's working.

What members are saying

 It provides a segment of time and a good setting to focus on your work and writing, with occasional breaks for chatting. I really came away feeling I'd made good progress on my WIP. 

 Great and friendly

      “I'm a long-time writer, but the recent death of my dear dog threatens to interrupt my writing habits. Her absence also drove home the point that I need to be out among people more. Despite my loss, I'm a pretty happy person who enjoys the world.”
