Writing is not an easy venture, especially if the daily routine is in the way. So let's try and create the much-needed time and space where we could write together on a regular basis. Open to all – aspiring and professional writers, creative people who'd like to dive into writing world and the ones looking for fellow writers’ companionship.
Meetup format (same as Lisbon Writing Group or many others around the globe). Expat-ish type of environment. We have a social hour, during which we can have lunch, coffee, talk about writing… or anything really.
Then there is an hour of writing, because magic doesn’t happen on its own but with a discipline. The main goal is to establish writing as a discipline, so bring whatever means for writing you prefer and be ready to write for an hour whether on your own topic or on some prompts provided by the facilitator.
And then the reading time, only if you want to.
After that we can have social time - whether presenting our creations, discussing personal writing successes (getting published, overcoming writer's block etc) or current projects you're working on. No critiquing, exercises, lectures, ego, competition or feeling guilty!
