Wednesday, April 09, 2008 Finding that meet up... POST A COMMENT It's that Oprah-(ish) need for feeling 'connected' with other folks; and a few words of advice from a pal. Let's rewind a bit. Over the past few years, I took a few screenwriting and fiction courses at Gotham's Writing Workshop -- mainly to keep the story alive. From a wee baby, I've always dreamed of 'telling stories.' I think I still have my cartoon strips that I wrote when I was twelve years ago...yonder days of writing and drawing my cartoon strip. It was not for fame and fortune, rather out of need of a creative outlet...so, over the years, I stayed in touch with that dream. In the word of blogs. It's sometimes hard not to keep out there. It's become, in a weird way back to daily story. Where the mundane can lift off the page and share our space. Or something like that. Any-hoo, I really enjoyed my two swings at this meet up and wanted to step up on my tiny soap box and tell people about it. Meetup.com is a free spot, where you can join meet up groups of people of like minds. Check them out, and find your own meetup...did I mention their free. I've settled on a cool NYC screenwriting group, great devoted folks! It's a bit big for my taste. I'm more small group type of person, but they are hardcore about writing and that's a really really really good thing.
