Creative writing is exciting. We are more likely to grow as writers, both in the enjoyment of our craft and in our productivity, when we are in community with other writers. Writing does not need to be lonely and unproductive, but should be an fulfilling and liberating form of creativity and self-expression. As a member of The Writers' Workshop, you can belong to a community of fellow writers who will encourage you in your craft.  Each writer should come to each week's writing session with a pen …

One night, a collection of languages met a group of objects and they decided to share a cigarette over a drink. Complementing objects was easy enough for language, who found its partner so very real and touchable. Objects was mostly quiet, not finding much to say about itself, at least nothing equal to the photographs and poetry and sculpture language seemed so content and able to lavish upon it. When they made love, something was born, but soon enough it was on the lam. We are an artist collect …

We will meet once a week (most weeks) with the intention of writing and sharing. Writing and editing are two separate activities which are often done at the same time: we mentally cross out words and dismiss ideas before they even make it to the paper. This is not an editing and critiquing group but a writing group. For many people, the simple act of showing up and writing is enough. For others, it will be a means of creating first drafts or potential areas to explore further. The group is suita …
