NOTE: Due to many last minute cancellations, which keeps others who would have attended from being able to come, cancelling your yes RSVP within a week of the event …

Feeling like you lack the time or the inspiration to get started or finish your writing, whether it is a book, poem or series of short stories? Then this is the group for you.
