Baltimore Free-Writes Meetup Group
|
Meet other local writers and let creativity bloom! Come to a Free-Writes Meetup to preview work, practice writing, trade literary tips, make friends and have fun! All writers -- and should-be writers -- are welcome! This is really local writer Jill Solomon's group and she introduced me to the concept of Free Writing this past summer. But when her life got crazy, I thought I'd take over the group for a while until she can return to us. Every meeting, I'll bring some writing prompts and a timer. The idea is to write without self-editing until the timer goes off, then share what snippet you've written with the group. So all you need to do is bring your writing utensils and a buck or two to help defray the price that Meetup.com is charging me to run this thing.
