This group is for writers working on longer prose drafts. Rough, sloppy and in-progress is GREAT, as long as the overall idea is formed. I'd like to work with positive, creative people who share the goal of eventual publication. Note: I love poetry, journals, free-writing, articles, short stories & requesting guidance & inspiration when I'm blocked on page 14 of my novel--BUT--the ultimate purpose of this group will be to focus on larger pieces (novella or longer) that already have some form. ALL ARE WELCOME! Let's make this a fantastic group for all book writers! NOTE: WE MEET ON THE 2ND & 4TH THURSDAYS OF EACH MONTH AT DIVA, ON THE CORNER OF GREENWOOD & 80TH, NOT MONTHLY, AS THE DEFAULT BOX ABOVE INDICATES. THE MEETUP PAGE OFTEN THROWS DEFAULT DATES IN THERE FOR SOME REASON--ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS CROSS-CHECK THE POSTED DATE W/ THE 2ND & 4TH THURSDAYS OF THE MONTH--IF THAT EVER CHANGES, THE NOTE IN THIS BOX WILL CHANGE AS WELL. 2ND & 4TH THURSDAYS OF EVERY MONTH, 2ND & 4TH THURSDAYS OF EVERY MONTH, 2ND & 4TH THURSDAYS OF EVERY MONTH . . . . .

      “It would be great to meet with other authors and share my crazy ideas. Since this is my first book, getting a sense of the energy required to move to completion and get a book the lands on the best seller's list, would be great.”

      “I recently graduated college with a Bachelor's of Art, only to decide right off the bat that I want to write a novel. Needless to say, every time I sit down to write I get the distinct impression that I'm groping around in the dark. This can change.”

      “Most writers' groups & workshops end up being Another Way To Not Write for me. I find I need to hoard the chunks of time I need for novel-length work. Yet, 2/3 of the way through novel #3, I do need clueful feedback. So, HI!”

      “Writing a huge sci fi novel that might span to be a quartet, looking to exchange ideas like the sci fi writer group too; except my book has non-sci fi elements in it too; and I would like to get perspective on this book and finish & get it published”
