The music becomes suspenseful, and the actor on screen starts to creep around a corner... she pops out with a golf club, expecting there to be a dangerous stranger standing there, not expecting her... only to discover no one there. The music stops. She looks relieved. But you know better. And just as she starts to walk back toward from where she came, you see a shadow dart by, and the dangerous stranger pounces, and she screams, and you scream/laugh/get excited. If that sounds like your idea of …

Welcome Writers! Our purpose is to meet monthly to share writing & publishing knowledge, to improve our writing, for encouragement to pursue our dreams despite life's stumbling blocks. When writers get together, there's an exciting energy in the air, and I love that. I love talking our special language - the creative process, the joys, the frustrations of a blank page, how to regain that enthusiasm after a crushing rejection. However, most organizations are either an hour east of us or an hour w …

This is a group that will look at the horrors of both fiction and reality and try to understand what makes good and bad horror.

From Lugosi to Kirkman, we'll have a blast pouring over all the horror that's out there. It's sometimes cheesy, sometimes stupid, always fun!

Of course we want to share how we are doing on our healing journey, but I want this group to take it to the next level - after sharing how you're doing, the current challenges you're h …
