Blood on the Clocktower aux Caves Alliées (Trouble Brewing)
Soirée Trouble Brewing. Une valeur sûre qui convient aux joueur(se)s débutant(e)s comme expérimenté(e)s! Si c'est votre toute première partie, je recommanderais tout de même de venir d'abord à une de nos sessions pour joueur(se)s débutant(e)s: nous y expliquons les règles en détails.
**Soirée enquête, bluff et intrigues aux Caves Alliées.**
Venez (re)découvrir cette petite pépite du jeu d'intrigue qu'est Blood on the Clocktower, à mi-chemin entre un loup-garou et une murder mystery: incarnez le temps d'un soir un des habitants du village de Ravenswood Bluff, et enquêtez, bluffez, collaborez avec les autres joueurs pour faire la lumière sur la malédiction qui ronge le village de l'intérieur. Ou jouez pour le camp du mal, et avancez dans l'ombre pour semer le doute et la discorde parmi vos concitoyens.
* Soirée Trouble Brewing. Une valeur sûre qui convient aux joueur(se)s débutant(e)s comme expérimenté(e)s!
* Nous serons accueillis au bar "les Caves Alliées" (taverne médiévale à Paris 6ème), qui nous met à disposition un espace de jeu.
* Participation gratuite, par contre nous serons dans un bar, donc pensez à consommer (Ils ont un large choix de bières, des softs, boissons médiévales, et planches pour grignoter).

Veuillez apporter vos propres matériaux (carnet, crayons, stylos) si possible.
On propose 2 thèmes à chaque session, ils sont juste là pour donner un point de départ à l'inspiration ✨, si besoin. Mais libre à vous de dessiner tout ce qui vous passe par la tête sans forcément les respectez ! 😊

Don't worry, if you don't know how to draw, we can give you some tips.
You will find us at the basement. Be careful, the reception is not very good. We may not be able to answer you.
Please bring your own materials (drawing pad, pens, pencils) if possible.
We announce two themes for each session. This is just to give a start point for inspiration ✨, if needed. However, you are totally free to draw whatever you would like to, no need to follow them if do not want to. 😊

Hello writers, we are happy to meet you in our new permanent home: Bohème Coworking, located at 21 rue Sedaine in the 11th arrondissement.
When you arrive, just tell the friendly folks at La Boheme reception that you are with the writing group. They will give you a little wooden knick-knack with the wifi codes and a number that they use to determine the cost based on time spent (it's 3,80 € per hour, paid at the end).
***Now, about Ready-Set-Write! ..*.**
Ready Set Write! is a regular meeting of motivated writers who grab a beverage, then shut up and write.

***What it is NOT:*** neither a forum for critiquing each other's work, nor shameless self-promoting your projects or groups.
You pay for the time you spend, and have access to coffee, tea, and wifi.

Lyric writing exercises
Lyric writing weekly group practice.
A few object writing rounds to start, get our reps in — a favorite from the canon, Write Better Lyrics by P. Pattinson.*
Followed by other exercises.
I adapt the program depending on who shows up.
*Object writing : a noun picked through a random word generator, a 10 min timer to delve into our sensory imagination and free-flow with this prompt. We then take turn sharing.
Atelier d'écriture
Si les dernières thématiques de nos ateliers vous ont inspiré ou si vous souhaitez les découvrir, venez nous rejoindre pour cette nouvelle saison d'écriture.
Nous vous donnons rendez-vous pour un nouvel atelier, animé par Juliette Amans.
Auteure passionnée et expérimentée, elle crée des jeux de plumes accessibles à tous, ludiques et inspirants. Vous pourrez laisser libre cours à votre créativité.
Le salon du chef de gare du Poinçon, spécialement loué pour l'occasion, vous apportera une atmosphère cosy et calme, propice à votre imagination.
Comme à chaque fois, le thème vous sera révélé par Juliette Amans, au début de la séance.
L'atelier est payant. Le tarif est de 25 euros par personne pour deux heures, payable via WERO ou éventuellement en espèces. Afin de confirmer votre inscription, nous vous remercions de bien vouloir contacter Juliette Amans par mail ([juliette@maviemonencre.com](mailto:juliette@maviemonencre.com)) pour vos modalités de paiement.
Pour le bon déroulement, nous vous remercions de bien vouloir arriver à 14h50, afin de permettre à tous de s'installer, et que l'atelier puisse démarrer à 15h00 précises.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.

Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!

Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**

* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
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!
Queer Quills
**We are expanding our creative programming opportunities with Queer Quills, a quiet writing and sharing space. Queer Quills features some prompts, supplies and friendly faces to help get some inspiration or feedback for your writing. Hope to see you there!**
