Writers mostly write. Besides writing, the second most important act is submitting. I'd like to meet once a month with a group of writers who are submitting their work.  During this meeting we can exchange ideas about motivation, where to submit certain kinds of work and the mechanics of submitting material. We can map out strategies for submitting work and make committments to the group about the process.

When I was looking for members to join an established writing group of which I am part, I found there were many people who wanted a group for the beginning or novice writer. I started this group for those who might be intimidated by authors they feel are further along in their writing. I will be facilitating the group by giving writing assignments and exercises to those who would like them. I will also guide the group in their critiques which can be helpful to new writers and new groups in gener …

This is a group for writers who want to master powerful strategies to write better. The organizer, Charles Euchner, is a former teacher and administrator at Yale and Harvard and the author of a number of acclaimed works on politics, sports, civil rights, and more. The approach: Euchner has developed what he called a "brain-based system" for writing well. What's that mean?  It means that if you understand how the brain works -- how the brain gets engaged or confused, what makes it excited or bore …

We are passionate writers looking to meet other passionate writers. Our group loves to have fun and our atmosphere is warm, welcoming, playful - at times even silly. At the same time, when we get down to it, we offer sincere feedback, trying to improve each other's work. We believe that to give good feedback we have to tell the writer what worked well first, what moved us, what inspired us, what made us want to punch something or someone. Then, we talk about what can be improved. The environment …

Writer’s Block: Is It Real? Why do we want to write but find ourselves unable to do it? Perhaps it is as simple as this: We are simply having a thought -- a thought like: I don’t have the time. It won’t be any good. I’ll just quit anyway. I always do. No one will like it. I don’t feel like it. It’s too hard. I need to feel moved to write. I need to be inspired. There will be no pay off. I am no good at it. Not really. Others are better at it than I am. I’m too tired. I need to watch TV or check …
