Welcome to Writers Anonymous

Great writers had support groups. Let’s face it: writing is a lonely pursuit, not unlike riding cross country solo, it can get discouraging.  Dickens, Longfellow, Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson frequently met at  Boston’s Omni Parker House for their “Saturday Club.”  Our support group was birthed from a similar need   I speak for the rest of the group when I say that what we all  desired was: a familiar face in the crowd, people who wouldn’t mind shooting the breeze  about films, books, politics, and the symbiosis of it all. How tough is it starting at a blank sheet of paper? It’s one of the toughest tasks in the world. Weekly conversations with strangers who share a love for the craft over a cold pint eventually leads  to friendship, camaraderie, motivation to read and write more, and impetus to publish, publish, publish. One year later,  a project was born.  This is our story. Stay tuned.
