As a non-published, non-professional creative writer I decided to start offering writing workshops to foster love of writing in others. You don't have to know where to put a comma or what a conjunction is in order to use writing as a tool for personal expression. We all tend to get swamped with everyday responsibilities, stresses and work.  As critical as the two out of three of them are we also need time for ourselves.  Time to nurture our love of writing. Once a month we'll hold a themed wor …

I'm an artist. I'm a writer, singer and musical theatre afficiando. But mostly, I'm someone who seeks to take this love of the creative arts and make it into a business. I'm sure there are many others out there who are pursuing, or have been successful at, similar goals. So, if you've got this nagging idea to start your own creative arts business or have one that's thriving getting together to exchange ideas and insights would be beneficial to all of us!

We write... we draw... we color! Spark your creativity through writing. You don't have to be a writer or even have a daily journaling practice to attend. Nor do you have to be creative. Each evening is filled with creative exercises to spark your inner spirit and help with your journaling practice, inspire the book inside you, or inspire anything else you want to do, change, grow or increase in your life. Many evenings we work on art journal pages, mandala design or a combination of free writing …

The purpose of the Writers Group is bringing like-minded people together and share a passion for writing scripts and screenplays. If you have an idea for TV or a movie and want to write, this is for you. Even if you haven't finished the first draft, come talk about story development, characters, dialogue, structure, and scenes. We believe writers need to be around people who "get them" for support and inspiration. The Writers Groups offers feedback, discusses writing habits (what works and what …

So, our summer class is underway (and full). If you're new to the group, feel free to stick around for announcements about future classes.

Each week we'll critique each others' work, talk about various craft issues (like point of view, story structure, etc.), all with an eye …

Quality, commitment, honesty, that's what we're about.   See that low number for members on the home page?  It's meant to be that way, but a few more can't hurt.   We are a committed, interactive group of writers who want to write and get competent feedback on our work.  Though any genre is acceptable, commercial selling and marketing is not the first goal, excellent writing is.  Any age and skill level is welcome, as long as you are quite serious about exploring or continuing the craft of writi …
