What we’re about
The purpose of this group is to gather creative thinkers and writers to write together, critique each other, and to help each other grow.
This group is an off shoot of our book club. Some of us are also readers. A few of us also write so we decided to start another group for ourselves to write together and to open it up to grow our community. This is a woman's writing group focused on women trying to write either for fun or more seriously.
We do fun and creative exercises for short things, and some of us too are working on larger bodies of work. This is a new idea and the nice thing about it is that those joining can help us work out the finer details, culture, methods, and activities.
We are here for all writers, all levels, all varieties of people, all genders, sexual preferences, colors. Be patient till you tell us how you want to be viewed/ called/personal pronouns/ anything and everything else. We will honor whatever you choose. Everyone is an individual. We love all types. Respect matters.
This group is about honest reviews. Be critical, be honest about your view. This information is helpful. We are here to grow, learn, and improve. There is a difference between being mean, and being honest and critical to be helpful. Please know the difference, and if you don't... wait and think about it and try to say it if you really think it makes a difference and can be helpful, figure out the kindest way to say it. The goal is to make each other better. Cruelty is not welcome nor does it make anyone better.
This group meets on a private homestead farm that doubles as a tiny B&B. So the covid rules are very strict. To attend our meetings you must present proof of being vaccinated and UTD on all covid boosters. We test before any and all indoor group meetings during surges in our area/s. Each meeting is strictly limited to 10 people.
We hope to get a nice group of people who really want to attend and participate.
in nice weather we meet outdoors, where we can watch the goats playing on the hill, from under the wisteria in the heart of the herb garden. In cold icky weather we meet indoors by the wood stove. We are potluck so bring whatever snacks you want. Wine, etc, welcome. No one leaves here unfit to drive. Joining this group you agree to stay here in the event you are unfit to drive till you are fit to leave here. Don't be insulted if anyone doesn't eat something you brought. People have allergies, personal taste, and other food related issues. It isn't about you. It says nothing about you or what you bring.
Must love dogs.
Loving cats is optional.
Stories welcome.
Conspiracies unwelcome unless they are part of your writing piece.
