THIS HAS BECOME A CLOSED GROUP. WE HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF MEMBERS, 20 Plus or more, and it is not conducive to in-depth critique. I understand it is a favorite amongst meetup members, sorry. Those who are members now may stay, and the group will become two groups with older members remaining on Tuesday nights, and newer members will choose a day. I want everyone to have a chance to be involved, share, critique, and get the full experience of being a writer.
About our Circle:
This small creative circle has been designed for writers of all genres. We like to encourage a supportive group of serious, committed writers who are willing to invest in themselves and in their work while creating success in their lives. For this reason, we are seeking regular attendees who contribute on an ongoing basis. During the meeting, we read our works aloud and share gracious insights. Our supportive circle and in-depth discussions inspire an inspiring exchange of creative writing ideas, and ultimately, the fruition of our dreams.
Our Process:
-We gather bi-weekly as a respectful, cohesive group to collaborate on our works.
-Bring ten printed copies of about a thousand (1,000) words of your chosen genre; this will allow a generous amount of time to in-depth exploration of each writer's work.
-Focusing on creative works, we limit critiques to broad-level concerns, i.e., character and plot development, structure, action, conflict, setting, tension, suspense and point of view. We do not exchange sentence-level critiques or line-edit for grammar and mechanics.
-A work-in-progress and commitment to attend are crucial.
-Our main goal: to work together wisely, positively and productively as we each follow our dreams as writers.
