Calling all creative writers! Want to write something creative but need some motivation or support or some thoguhtful readers? Join other MIT writers to get advice about your own writing, to be a reader of other writers' work, and/or to get inspiration to write something. Any type of creative writing is welcomed:  e.g., fiction, poetry, literary nonfiction, memoirs, personal essays, plays, blog entries, book reviews. We help each other get started on a creative writing project, we help each other develop ideas and style, we function as engaged and encouraging readers of each other's material.  The Group includes emerging and established writers. We meet every Monday from noon-1:00 p.m. in E39-335 (the same building that hosues Rebecca's Cafe in Kendall Square). Open to MIT undergraduate and graduate students, post-docs, lectuers, staff and faculty.Please note that this is not a class and not a group for technical writing or for thesis writing.
