I am hoping to find an active and supportive community of writers in which members exchange and/or workshop their pieces. I'm open to other types of groups as well; I miss the communal aspect of writing and creating, so that's what is most important to me. I have ample workshop experience and hold an MFA in Creative Writing with a focus on poetry. I am primarily seeking groups centered around poetry, though I am also interested in creative nonfiction and hybrid/genre-bending forms.

Nearly life long writer, reader, and celebrant of poetry. Sporadic cycles of absence and return more regular in last five years. Workshop experience as English major 20 years ago. Seeking connections with a greater community to enhance practice, skills, depth. 

I am just discovering my love for writing and telling stories. I am aspiring to write my memoir and looking for anyone who can help me on my journey. I love poetry, humor and suspense. I love a story that has depth and vision. I wish to use my voice to tell a story that will transform anyone who comes in contact with it . I believe that unlike animals who were created to blend in, we as humans are meant to stand out and be unique. I wish to share my unique voice to inspire others to live an authentic and unlimited life. I have no writing experience but just like in a seed there lies an entire forest, so to is the gift of writing lying dormant within me waiting for the right soil (environment) so it could sprout. 

I grew up losing myself in stories. Books and Movies. When I began sharing my writing it was an experiment in self-expression. I started taking it more seriously in 2015 because I needed to provide content for my healing business. Since then I've discovered a writer in me (well actually a writing coach yelled "you're a writer!!" at me during a writing session and eventually I started believing it myself).
