For one hour we will write continuously, while perhaps sniffing and swirling wine. At the …

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 …

We workshop our poems. Help each other to become better poets. Encourage one another.

We're people who've attended John Truby's writing seminars in New York. If you've attended one of his three day seminars, you're eligible to join.

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 …

If you're a writer who isn't writing or feels you're not writing as much or as well as you should, then let's put our collective heads together and do something about it.

We toil in obscurity, trying to write the next great historical novel. Or maybe just the *next* historical novel. Few who have not tried it understand the woes of the historical writer: you do not know your world as well as a writer of contemporary stories, and yet you are not as free to invent it as a fantasy or sci-fi writer would be. Still, there is something uniquely satisfying in transporting readers to a different time, or using real events and places as a backdrop for a story that gives t …

This is a guided writing group. Each week we write two pages on an assigned topic and read it aloud at group. The focus is on symbolic writing that explores the depths of our unconscious minds through narrative writing. Our group is highly supportive of each others' writing and this group is less about critique and more about exploring what the symbols in the writing mean to us.
