I'm an aspiring author. I intend to publish soon (fingers crossed)...but in the meantime, I need to finish my book.  I sincerely need to connect with other serious-minded fiction and non-fiction writers in Mitchellville, MD--to keep me focused. I discovered a few writers' groups in Virginia and lots in DC but want to stay in the MD suburbs so I don't have to venture too far from home on the weekends or after a long day's work. I'm serious about my craft and I'd like to meet with 7 to 9 folks twi …

Hey everyone! My name is Jamie. I moved to Annapolis earlier this year. Now that I'm getting settled in and finding some fun things to do, I'm looking to meet some great people who share my interests. I called the group Writers and Adventurers of Annapolis because it's partly about getting together with other writers and sharing our stuff, and partly about getting out and finding some great ways to entertain (and hopefully even inspire) ourselves. So whether you're interested in one or the other …

I would like to start a community for writers and artists with the goal of exploring, understanding, and working through creative blocks. This will not be a critique group, but a place to meet, share with, celebrate, and support one another. You might just be starting out in your craft or established. It doesn’t matter what type of writer or artist you might be. Our starting point might be The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. We would meet monthly in the Elizabethtown/Mt Joy area.

The original name was going to be "The messy writer's group for the functionally nutty," but we don't all have to be messy, or nutty, or functional. We read, write and perform poetry. Sometimes it shoots, sometimes sits like dirt, sometimes resists like phlegm, or oozes, or sometimes it just rests above our heads- no matter. It's a product of "the great yellow rose in your brain" (that's Ginsberg). If you have ever said to yourself, after writing a whole bunch of words on a page, "Man I wish I c …

Ever read C. S. Lewis or Tolkien and envied their bond in the Inklings? Wish you could have a beer with N. T. Wright, Brian McLaren, Charles Townes, or Francis Collins? Well...this group can't promise to reach those heights of intellectualism. But we can at least enjoy great conversation, share what we're reading, what we're learning and expand our minds by association, ALL while enjoying a good beer or coffee at one of Baltimore's many great hangouts. I hope we can read each others' work, share …

Are you a tech geek? How about an artsy geek, food geek, music geek, or theater geek? Good ol’ fashioned regular geek? Do you find yourself looking up Wikipedia articles for entertainment instead of as a quick way to shut down an interminable argument between two people? Do you fall deep within the complex banter of Cracked.com writers or ponder the wisdom of those behind XKCD and Rage Comics? Would you rather play video games from your (insert console or PC type), watch silly cartoons or movies …
