Laid-back group, meeting once a month to discuss all things writing, publishing, and writing-related. Writing can be a solitary profession and obsession, and it helps to know others who love the written word just as much as you do. Anyone with a love of the written word is welcome.

This group is for people interested in writing character-driven screenplays with strong narrative values. A screenplay isn't a novel, and it's not a film. It's a tool to get a critical mass of professionals together to make a film. The stronger the story and the more human the characters, the better the screenplay. Classic narrative structure will be encouraged as a respectful basis for script critique, as will analysis of classic and current films and scripts for technique. All genres welcome!

I know as a Massage Therapist that we carry our stress within our bodies affecting us physically. After taking The Artist's Way workshop it really helped me to destress and connect with others.

We will not be painting, drawing or writing during class but if that is your passion or hidden talent then we encourage you to do so. Julia Cameron wrote the book 20 ye …
