Women Writers

**🌸 ALL THE WOMEN IN ME 🌸** ***INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY SPECIAL*** A Journaling Workshop for Every Version of You Let's be honest – we're all carrying around an entire committee of women inside us. You know them well: the perfectionist who color-codes her calendar, the rebel who wants to dye her hair blue at 40, the inner critic who's somehow channeling your third-grade teacher, and that wild dreamer who still believes she'll learn to juggle while riding a unicycle (hey, no judging!) But hey, where are they all coming from? Let's look in the past, dive into your family's story, and see what comes up! Through guided writing exercises, we'll: * Meet your inner cast of characters (and maybe discover some surprise guests) * Explore how these different parts of you have shaped your story * Learn to embrace your contradictions (yes, you can be both a warrior and someone who cries at cat videos) * Transform self-judgment into self-acceptance (or at least a friendly eye-roll) What to bring: * Your favorite notebook (the one you've been saving for "something special" – this is it!) * A pen that makes you feel like a writer * Your sense of humor * Zero journaling experience required – seriously, even if your last diary entry was "All boys are idiots!", some time in secondary school * Who this is for: Women who are curious about their own complexity, tired of trying to fit into one-size-fits-all definitions, and ready to explore their inner world with honesty and a dash of wit. Details: * 1.5-hour workshop * Small group setting (max 10 participants) * Guided exercises, free writing, and group sharing (only if you want to – no pressure!) Come join us for an evening of self-discovery, real talk, and maybe even some surprisingly good laughs. Because getting to know yourself doesn't always have to be so serious. P.S. Your inner perfectionist wants you to know that it's totally fine to show up in sweatpants. Your inner diva suggests adding a fabulous scarf. We welcome them both. ABOUT THE ORGANIZER Hi!

Te invito a **explorar juntas qué significa ser mujer,** leyendo a mujeres, compartiendo experiencias, dejándonos sorprender y acompañándonos en un camino de exploración y conexión con la literatura infantil. **Aquí no solo comentaremos libros:** nos dejaremos sorprender por imágenes y textos que nos remuevan, nos incomoden y nos permitan mirar hacia dentro. Todo esto en un espacio íntimo, sostenido y confiable. **¿Qué haremos?** Desconectar de la rutina y regalarnos un tiempo para el asombro, la lectura, el diálogo y el descubrimiento.

Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at noon on Sundays. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us.

If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write!

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!

**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
