As artists, we spend most of our creative time alone. Creating art is a very singular, solitary task. With "The Artist's Way" as a guide, we can create a community of support and encouragement. The following quote from the author's website sums it up: "When The Artist's Way was first published, I expressed a wish for Artist’s Way groups to spring into being. I envisioned them as peer-run circles—“creative clusters”—where people would serve one another as believing mirrors, uniting with the …

Not all creative people are looking for criticism.  Some just want inspiration, friends, and the chance to be creative with others who just get it.  While originally a writers' group, this group is going to tour great coffee houses, where members will have the opportunity to do art or writing alongside each other.  We'll be each others' cheerleaders on our journey, whether that be writing your memoir, standing in front of a microphone reading a poem or singing out loud, or just having friends to …

How the papers came to be transmitted into writte …

Writer's Bloq is about you and your writing. On Writer's Bloq, you can share your writing wi …
