I find that when I’m in a writing group, I produce more. It is like being in school and having a deadline for an assignment. I also like to have other writers to bounce my work off of. I’d like to kickstart my novel (again) and finish it this time. I’m interested in meeting weekly or biweekly if others are game.

Hey, Laura! Funny thing, I used to write so much more when I was either in school or teaching. Having a built-in excuse to share makes it easier, I think, to make progress. I just signed up for NaNoWriMo and I’m hoping to draft a novel in November. I’m also in Bothell, so meeting weekly or bi-weekly is surely feasible for me.
Mais Oui!
I’m internationally-ignored writer Sky Callahan of Seattle’s Pioneer Square, a scribbler of both fiction and creative nonfiction, and I’d love to help establish a writer’s group—anywhere in the city or its environs.
I’m a member of the Richard Hugo House, and sometimes attend a writer’s group there—Mélange on Mondays, occurring on the first Monday of each month—but my schedule forces me to miss many of those meetings and I’d like to help establish a good backup.
I’ll help in any way I can. My email address is: sky.callahan@linuxmail.org. Feel free to contact me any time.
NOTE: I also posted this in response to an entry by coffeejitters, and may post it elsewhere in the hopes of bringing a bunch of us together.

I’m responding to your post dated May18, 2006. I’m looking for a writer’s group to help me jump start a stale novel. I’ve haven’t really been involved in any groups before. Well, once about 25 years ago, but it went flat rather quickly. I’m hoping to get with others who are also grappling with the novel form. I live out in Lake Forest Park off Lake City Way. But am willing to travel into town for a good group. If you could help me out with any suggestions I’d be deeply appreciative. Thanks!
