There are some great writing groups in Wake County already, but what I need the most is some time away from the house to be able to actually work. To that end I’ve started this group to provide write-ins for every author, regardless of genre or skill level. This is a writing practice group where you can work on a specific project, find your inner voice, or just try your hand at writing for the first time. Writing prompts will be given at the start of each session (and on Twitter @WakeWriters) bu …

As a result, we are all very familiar with each others' work. We seek members who are committed to providing honest, constru …

Always wanted to write, but can't get started? Stuck midway through a project? Writers need time devoted to the doing, and this group aims to set aside and protect that time.

This is a group that needs talented writers, performers, artists and designers in order to collaborate as a group to create an original play and eventually have it performed on stage. It will take passion and a love of creating something unique in order to be a member of this group. It is certainly something we can pull off, as long as the group works together. To write, produce, perform and premiere an original play is not something many people can ever say they had a chance to do, and I believ …
