So I majored in Creative Writing in college and loved my workshop classes. I vowed to find one after I graduated so that I kept up with my writing. That was over three years ago. I have not been in any writing workshops since and my writing has been getting less and less. Sound familiar? If you are an aspiring writer, love to write to release stress or just like to write as a hobby, but don't really find yourself motivated, then join my group. I love to write, but I feel that its too hard to do …

Happy New Year! As a non-fiction writer, I've been intrigued by the number of "Meetup" groups that have popped up in the tristate area under the name: "Shut Up and Write!" Most of these groups are in NYC but lately I've noticed a few in Montclair and Morristown. So I've decided to put some feelers out to see if the idea will work in my community. (You don't have to live in Maplewood or South Orange to join us.) The "Shut Up and Write!" Meetups are not a critique group or a writing class. They ar …

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 …

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 …
