I don't really believe in new years resolutions. The way I see it, if you need 365 days to pass before you alter your goals, well, you're certainly leaning heavily on social expectations to shape your life. That said, this is one of the times of the year I think about ways to finally reach or reset those goals gathering dust in my journal pages.
If you feel like you need a group of fellow writers to join in the merriment of your writing process, perhaps the Calgary Writing Collective is for you. Of the 5-10 folks we regularly see once a month, many say they enjoy having a community to laugh at their jokes, offer constructive feedback and of course, wash it all down with a pint of their favorite lager.
So what are you waiting for? Start writing, and if you want to swap stories or talk with other writers, come on down. All are welcome :)
The next Calgary Writing Collective is coming up next week:
Tuesday, Jan. 12, 7 p.m.
Auburn Saloon (163 - 115 - 9th Ave SE bottom of the Calgary Tower)
Meeting the second Tuesday each month, the Calgary Writing Collective is a friendly meet-up for writers at any stage of a literary project (short stories, novels, screenplays etc.) Bring anything you wish to share, a notepad for inspiration and impromptu writing exercises and your imagination.
