Melbourne's Cool Creative Writing Club (the MCCC)

This MCCC is a group for those that are interested in meeting other thoughtful and creative people, who are interested in creative writing. Meetings will usually consist of participating individually and as a group in creative writing activities. The focus will be on enjoying creative writing, having fun and inspiring one another, so this group is not suitable for those that take writing, or themselves, too seriously.
Meetings will not always be the same. Some possibilities for alternative activities might include reading and critiquing already completed works of group members or reading and chatting about literacy in a book club-like way. Members are encouraged to contribute thier ideas and desires for future meeting activities.
If this all sounds good, join up now!!

Notes:
1) You do not have to be "cool" to join this group, I just thought it gave the name a bit more zing.
2) As a writer, I'm sure you noticed the seemingly inaccurate accronym usage in "MCCC". I did this for 2 reasons. Firstly, since 'writing' begins with a silent letter, I believe it should not be included in the accronym. And secondly, "the MCCC" is a much cooler sounding name than "the MCCWC."
