My name is Martin, and I've bee …

I tried to get something like this started a few months ago, but a death in the family derailed it. So, here we go again: This is a group for writers struggling with productivity. We meet once a week and more often via social media, phone, lifelines, whatever in order to do one thing: provide accountability so that we can track our progress and meet our goals. Traditional workshop elements are, if we want them, informal - we can read each other's stuff, but that's not the aim; nor is providing e …

Hello and thanks for stopping by to take a look. As you know or will soon discover, writing can be a very solitary craft. So, this group’s primary purpose is to shine a little light on that solitude in order to keep us both focused and motivated. While we will be scheduling face-to-face meet-ups, this group’s primary means of support will be via telephone conference calls. Join us and you will always know that you are not alone. Most Sincerely, Mark
