Want to improve your writing style and practice the mechanics and art of writing? Want more people to read and comment on your work?<\/p>\n

Join the Writers Anonymous Group!<\/p>\n

Writing pieces would generally be 2 - 12 pages, submitted every other week or once a month. The other members in the group will review them, and then we'll meet (on IM or Skype) and discuss the work.<\/p>\n

People of all backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome! You can focus on short stories, poetry, journalism, essays, plays; pieces of a long work or different projects every meeting.<\/p>\n

If there's interest, we can include readings-on-writing and different challenges to write particular kinds of pieces.<\/p>\n

If you're interested, email me and tell your friends!<\/tt><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

So tell me you want to join and start writing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
