I would like to meet more than once a month and would LOVE in person meetups. I’m in Philly and have been seeking IRL community with other writers. All that to say, I’m down! :)

You just made me so excited to roll out one of my ideas to expand Blackstack since I can't be everywhere at once! But until I get that flushed out, I am down to host more than once a month! Any specific day or time work best so I can start a poll?

Sunday is the perfect day for me. Weekdays are tougher but I could swing a Monday or Tuesday evening.

Writing workshops and in-person meetings would be great! I would love to find a writer’s community in Georgia! A combination of both would motivate me.

I might be able to get a Georgia team setup to host some in-person writing events. Would you be open to hosting or just joining? Either way I’ll be working on some details soon

Awesome! At the top of this post I added the updated post with links to register and dates for the second virtual community writing circle, along with the interest meeting for hosts. It’s all this weekend so check out that post or the chat thread just started about it. I’d love to have you for both!

Omg Amarie!!! Wow I’d love that! I got so much interest in actually working on setting up chapters for us to host in our cities. I’m going to be in touch in over the weekend to schedule a call for me to share details so we can all get started.

I would definitely like prompts, more frequent meetings, and in-person. I am in Virginia (Hampton Roads Area).

I don’t have anyone inquiring about hosting in VA but we might be able to pull a team soon. For now the next writers circle is on the 16th I added a date for the month, and next month I’ll have a workshop with prompts for us.
