About us
This is a writing group to help get your juices flowing and quiet the inner critic. The goal is that you don’t stop the pen during each portion of timed writing in order to outwit your mental filter and go to deep and unexpected and hilarious places.
The structure of the group will go more or less like this:
-5 mins of timed writing describing how you are doing, where you’re at physically, emotionally, mentally. We will go around the circle and read aloud what we’ve written. This is in place of “catching up” at the start of the meeting.
-10 minutes of writing guided by a prompt, then read aloud. After someone reads we all say simply, “thank you” and move on.
-20 minutes of writing from a prompt, then read aloud.
- wrap it up, go home.
This is not a typical writing group where people work on their own projects without sharing. It is also not a critique group although if you want feedback we can make room for that. I’ve been in groups like this before and it can be emotional, vulnerable, scary, magical. It can be a place where you are truly seen and heard. It can feel like group therapy in the best way.
