I want to form a very small group of 5-6 talented writers to meet every two weeks. The purpose is to foster a relationship between a small group of writers so we can help each other be productive, get each other through road-blocks, and create inspiration through constructive criticism and ego-free dialogue. I'm looking for writers who are all on the same level as far as talent. I want to keep the group small because everyone will be asked to read and give criticism on everyone's work... that's …

It seems like most writing meetups meet during the working day, and I imagine I'm not the only one who is working during that time. This meetup is for writers and aspiring writers of all kinds. The idea is that we will meet at a cafe in or near Longmont to write for an hour and a half or two, and then if people want to stay to chat about what they've written, get feedback, just say hello, they can stay. Once the group gets going, I'd like to invite established authors to come talk to us about th …

Writing Church is for you if you’re: a Sinner: You don’t write but you know you should. a Saint: You write three times daily. an Atheist: You don’t believe you’re a writer. an Agnostic: You don’t believe you’re a writer or not a writer. Malcolm Gladwell, in Outliers: The Story of Success, says it takes 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to master a skill.
