I’m looking for a few women academics/writers interested in writing in Auburndale-area cafes (Bruggers Bagels, etc). I'm a female academic (40s) who moved here recently and is missing the wonderful cross-disciplinary writing group that I left behind. The structure of the group was akin to parallel play, wherein we each worked on our own projects while sitting alongside each other. The group was helpful in providing a regular time and structure to support writing as well as creating some writing …

When they made love, something was born, but soon enough it was on the lam. We are an artist collect …
