This is a daytime group about writing, writing, writing. Finding time to write can be an issue, clearing an evening adds to the challenge. We'll write for 45 minutes and process the experience for 15 minutes. If this works well, we may add a critique or education component later. For now, this is just about sitting down and writing.

… The purpose of the group is to allow people who want to meet and make friends with other writers the opportunity to do so without having to share or respond to work. Of course, there's absolutely nothing wrong with critique groups; it's just not the purpose of these meetings. This arrangement simply provides another avenue for making contacts and friends that's more inclusive of everyone's needs and interests. People do branch off and create critique groups....they also collaborate on books, mag …

This group is a "real world" extension of the organization I founded on-line called the Indie Book Collective. We are all about helping authors figure out their publication options then helping them succeed (i.e. actually sell their books) through social media, Amazon optimization, and other promotional events. Each weekly meet-up will be filled with discussion on the latest news from the publishing world and how it effects the market and our sales (or plan to sell). No matter if you are only ev …

A Story Circle is a group of women who come together on a regular basis to write, read, share and celebrate the stories of their lives.

 Welcome to Harmony Haven We're a loose connection of individuals that know we have more creativity than we've expressed, more talents than we've explored. We each are curious and want to enrich our lives in myriad ways. We embrace life and investigate new ideas. We relish the differences in each of us. And we have FUN.
