Reading, Writing, Thinking then Drinking

This group will read books on writing, write, think about and discuss topics of a nature not usually found in daily life, and if the spirit moves us, toast on it.

We will have an assigned book each month and meet to talk about it. We will also have weekly writing dates to "Sit down, shut up and Write," and we will also see films and go to events that are interesting to discuss. We will also have scheduled cocktail dates.

Great meetup! Got a lot of work done. Good environment for working on material.

I got so much done! Plus the chat breaks were helpful, too. Much more fun than just writing alone at home.

"I have been searching for a writing group for a while. I don't know how I overlooked this one. I love to write, but I am far more productive when I have the encouragement of a group. I look forward to meeting you all."

"Hi! I used to write a lot, but then slowly just stopped. I've always wanted to get back into it, but never really did until recently. I think I always did better when involved with some kind of group, so now that I'm writing again.... Here I am!"

"Hi, I'm a mental health/alcohol and drug counselor by day, but I also enjoy writing. I need encouragement and a group of people to nudge me along to complete something, though. I also enjoy drinking ;)"
