This is a meetup group that will meet weekly (just come when you can) to talk about our writings and just get together with other writers.  I hope to make this a nice community of writers where you can feel safe and grow your confidence.

The modern book group of today is in some ways still a push for women's intellectual autonomy. Think of this book club as a refuge for women who want to cultivate their minds outside of our current culture's norm of watching television or films. This is a casual, laid back, friendly book club discussion about the books we are reading. This book club meets in the Saint Paul Midway area. This book club may or may not be currently open to new members.  Due to the personal nature of book club discus …

Ever hear about the Art Salon of Paris in the 1800's and New York in the early 1900's. Our artist friends agree that we need a place today to gather, discuss the arts, show current work and reflect on past artist's work. It is an experiment, testing to see whether the topics that intrigue us have meaning and significance beyond a select few, and seeking to create a time/space within which we can stir a lively, rigorous discussion about the state of art - local, national and international - yours …

As a transplant from Seattle, I've been missing my poetry workshop mates and I haven't discovered a group on here or in this city that quite fits. I'd like to have a place that provides opportunity for serious workshopping of poetry, as well as helps fellow poets write new poetry and have a safe place to share their poetry and experiment. How this workshop would run: Groups shouldn't exceed 5 people, so if there were more folks then we would split into smaller groups. Everyone, if they so choose …

Metaphor is always with us in: what we read and write; what we see in media, film, T.V. and photography; in all forms of the arts, including the art of telling our stories from poetry to cultural fables to personal story, but it is also embedded in psychology and education. Metaphors are powerful and enrich our lives, but they also can have destructive impacts or sell us down the garden path making us think we need things that we don't. This Meetup will look at the art of metaphor. I will bring …

Let's get together and write. Bring markers, tools, anything that you know makes a good line and get to it. Calligraphers, graffiti writers, brush letterers, informal writers with bad handwriting, design and type lovers should all show up to this. Writing is freedom through form, and we can make beauty without worrying about whether it looks perfect. If you have a specific way of writing, it might be fun to teach the group what and how you write. Hope to see you there.

This is a group for anyone interested in writing Middle Grade and Young Adult stories and novels. We will meet twice a month; one time to quietly read and then openly critique 8-12 pages from something you're working on, and the other time to just take time away from our busy day to focus on writing for an hour or two.
