Hello Everyone! Welcome to our little group.  We typically meet on ever Monday evening, though we have had meetings on other nights.  Our usual venue, the Atrium next to the Habit coffee shop, is not available to us on ‘stat’ days (we do not meet on those days). The first Monday of each month is reserved for a Meet N Greet.  Here we discuss group business and then play some word games to stretch our writing muscles. The third Monday of each month is a critique night.  Here we break into subgr …

We are singles who love to write. Some of us are published authors; others are new to writing. We meet once per month to discuss our writing projects, learn and mingle. Join us: You might find that your writing muse is your soul mate.

You don't necessarily nee …

A meeting in New Westminster every second Wednesday from 7-10 PM effective Sept 5, 2012 with stories ready for critiquing by a valiant band of fellow, aspiring scribes. The mission is to get us writers out of our chairs (or into our chairs, rather) and put pen to paper. And moreover, to get our work primed and ready for publication.
