Troy Creative Writing Meetup is a community of writers of all genres and levels. Our group was launched in the creative hub of the Capital District, NY, an area rich with artistic interest and opportunity. Since our inception, our group’s goal has been to share resources and insights to build each other up and help one another grow as writers.

Check our not-so-brand-new website at https://troycreativewritingmeetup.wordpress.com, where you can find work from our members and some more in-depth thoughts of what this meetup means for us.

As a result of COVID-19, we’ve adapted as a group and meet weekly or bi-weekly online via Zoom. Since then we have expanded our member outreach, opening doors for collaboration with writers from different states and countries, creating a chance to broaden networks and friendships. 

This group is geared towards productivity, shared ideas and collaborative experiences. All types of writers are welcome, from hobbyists to professionals. We are LGBTQIA+ and diversity inclusive. If you’re interested in being a part of a creative community, learning from other writers and becoming involved in new opportunities, this group is for you!

Who is this group for:

This is a lesbian meet-up group for women to get together for social activities, as well as community events.

Ages 21 and up.

What is the aim:

The aim is to facilitate members to meet new friends, expand social networks, and have a splendid gay ol’time during our social adventures.

Her story:

I know it is particularly hard to find lesbians to connect with in the Capital Region. Dating sites can be intimidating and weird and going out to a gay club to find a friend can be a daunting experience. It does not matter whether you are single or married, into the dating scene or into being a crazy cat-lady, a bookworm or a sports fan, newly out or new in town; this meet-up will be a great support for women to connect with others.

Social activities:

Picnics, paintball, bowling, movies, ice-skating, karaoke, dining, hikes, sporting events, rallies, art openings, drink and draws, yoga, and the list shall go on.

I envision a lesbian collective where we have lots of members suggesting lots of different events! If you have an idea for an event, suggest it. There are so many interesting things going on in our region. Let’s find out what they are and share them as a group.

I am looking forward to meeting you at our next meet-up!

Group policy:

- Be respectful when you RSVP, always be courteous and let us know if you change your mind.

- Zero tolerance for any member who disrespects others.

-Ages 21 and up

What is social media? How does it differ from traditional media? In my humble opinion social media includes all media forms that differ from the tradtional deliverables of traditional media houses (eg. newsprint from newspapers, glossy print from magazines, over the air radio from radio stations, over the air TV from TV stations). If that is so where do you place satellite radio and cable TV? Are they social media, because they are not in the group listed above? They could be, but I would say not for the following reasons: 1. People associate cable TV as an extension of over the air TV. If people percieved cable TV as different, and cable had started in the last few years peoples perceptions may be different. As such I would put cable TV in the traditional media bucket. The same with satellite radio. The relevant point is not based on technology, rather how people percieve the technology. So what is contained in the social media "bucket"? I would include email, chat, blogs, Internet radio, podcasts, mp3 type downloads, iTunes, webpages, smart phones to start. The point is all these media platforms are percieved as new not traditional. To the average person they put things in simple boxes or as "buckets" as mentioned above. I believe our role as social media experts is to answer the following questions to laypeople: a. what should I be doing in social media today, this month, this year? b. what should I be doing in traditional media today, this month, this year? c. Who can I trust for vendor, experts, and allies to max my ROI in social media? d. Why does this seem so complicated, when the promise is that social media is so easy? The last organizer left these words: Want to make the most out of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other forms of social media to promote your business or non profit organization? Well, come to the Social Media for Business Meetup Group and network with other social media enthusiasts and learn from their experiences. This group is great for marketers, entrepreneurs and anyone else just trying to get a handle on all things digital. I think these are good words, and with the questions above I would like our meetups to provide value the business people in general and social media users in particular.
