I tried to get something like this started a few months ago, but a death in the family derailed it. So, here we go again: This is a group for writers struggling with productivity. We meet once a week and more often via social media, phone, lifelines, whatever in order to do one thing: provide accountability so that we can track our progress and meet our goals. Traditional workshop elements are, if we want them, informal - we can read each other's stuff, but that's not the aim; nor is providing e …

“There’s nothing to writing. All you have to do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” Ernest Hemingway If some days writing really does seem like a solitary pursuit and bleeding onto your keyboard doesn’t help, then this group may be what relieves your pain. Pen and Kink makes working in a small genre like Erotica a less lonely pursuit and brings you together with writers who share the love of writing all that is sexy and a little naughty. Bring your finished work to share, your work in progre …

The Writers' Club of Whittier helps serious writers unlock the doors to publication through active participation in workshops using the club's proven workshop methods.

Students voted to start a club for writers in the Whittier area. Twenty-six charter members, all Susan's former students, were so …

Exploring past lives! We use Dolores Cannon's method to do a group past life exploration session. It is a way to explore other parts of one's consciousness and to get to know oneself a bit better, from a possibly unusual perspective. The benefit of exploring past lives is having the experience that what we know as death is merely a transition into other new adventures. The session takes about 45 minutes and is guided by the experienced therapist. After the session there is the opportunity to wri …
