Rochester Writing Group

It’s a common refrain that people can’t find the time to write. Understandable. Live is a collection of distractions—and some pretty good ones at that. And when we can write, we spend far too much time staring at a blank screen.

So how does one combat that? Well, for every activity we love, we find some amount of time to engage in it. Occasionally it means setting aside a block of minutes. Join us at this time for an hour of writing. That includes any writing related activity--outlining, editing, or putting words on paper. And if you get stuck, we'll be here to help.

We'll have a writing prompt handy, but you can work on your projects instead (obviously.)

What if there was a place you could meet your fellow writers virtually? What if there was a place where you could read your draft work to others, without having to edit it or spend hours using a spell checker? What if there was a place you could help other writers with their work… no prep necessary? Now there is.

Reading your work to others can open up entirely new insights.

The group provides trenchant but constructive feedback, always focused primarily on story structure: does the scene work? and how does it serve the story?
