As a non-published, non-professional creative writer I decided to start offering writing workshops to foster love of writing in others. You don't have to know where to put a comma or what a conjunction is in order to use writing as a tool for personal expression. We all tend to get swamped with everyday responsibilities, stresses and work.  As critical as the two out of three of them are we also need time for ourselves.  Time to nurture our love of writing. Once a month we'll hold a themed wor …

Quality, commitment, honesty, that's what we're about.   See that low number for members on the home page?  It's meant to be that way, but a few more can't hurt.   We are a committed, interactive group of writers who want to write and get competent feedback on our work.  Though any genre is acceptable, commercial selling and marketing is not the first goal, excellent writing is.  Any age and skill level is welcome, as long as you are quite serious about exploring or continuing the craft of writi …

I've been looking for a crop to attend... so I've created my own crops. I'm hoping to hold a crop at least once a quarter in the Wilmington area. I am a creative memories consultant, but please do not let that deter you from joining this meet up. I'm not a die hard CM consultant. I love their products, but there are just some things they don't have available (e.g. Stickles). So all are welcome. Not sure what else to write, I love scrapbooking. I've been scrapbooking for a few years now. I've alw …
