What we’re about
This group is for anyone who is wants to write -- short story, long story, any story at all, poetry, memoir, post-its -- but needs a bit of a kick in the pants to sit down and do it. Think of the group as your gym buddy. We will get together ON ZOOM and WRITE for two hours every Saturday morning. Then optionally read back what we've written.
All are welcome, as long as you are ready to write and be kind and considerate of other writers. This is NOT a critique group. We appreciate people who read their works but don't offer comments. This keeps it a safe space for writers of all levels.
PS Due to the group's large membership, we do NOT respond to Meet-up messages.
