A writing group. An accountability group. A lamenting and rending of garments group. Every. Single. Week. We'd love for you to join us! This is a basic get-it-done group. The first half hour we introduce ourselves, discuss our work, and make goals for the week. Then we get right down to writing. Did you know that putting several writers to work in one space creates a kind of bubble of focus and productivity? It's pretty amazing. There is no ending point. People generally start wandering out arou …

One night, a collection of languages met a group of objects and they decided to share a cigarette over a drink. Complementing objects was easy enough for language, who found its partner so very real and touchable. Objects was mostly quiet, not finding much to say about itself, at least nothing equal to the photographs and poetry and sculpture language seemed so content and able to lavish upon it. When they made love, something was born, but soon enough it was on the lam. We are an artist collect …

Writers Anonymous is a social writers support group in Boston. It’s been such a rewarding experience. I originally got the idea for this group while I was living in Manhattan. While in NY I hung out with quite a few graduates from NYU, Northeastern, and Columbia who had started a similar writer’s support group, in which they (the original members) all pledged to write something ambitious/monumental and potentially life changing, their first novel. The good news is most did finish. The main pur …
