The Write Group for Writers
What is the Write Group?
Join us online to discuss writing, share your stories, and take part in some fun and interactive writing activities during the Write Group. We meet via Zoom on the last Monday of each month (except holidays) at 6 PM.
Visit our Library Events page to sign up for an upcoming meeting.
This is the right place for writers to come together and connect in a positive and supportive atmosphere where all participants can freely share their writing endeavors, generate ideas, hone their craft and network with fellow writers.
If you can’t make the meeting, don’t worry! You can still participate by reading this blog post that contains informative material on writing, fun writing prompts to spark your creativity, as well as some great books on writing that you can check out at the library.
Writer’s block
Whether you are new to the world of writing or you are a well-seasoned writer, there are times where you may come across writer’s block. What exactly is writer’s block, you might ask? Well, picture a wall blocking your path and on the other side of that wall are all of the potential stories waiting to be written but, you somehow cannot see a way over or around that wall…That is writer’s block. You feel stumped and you have no clue how to begin your next story!
