**UPDATED 1/27/20 - Due to our rapid growth due to our new and fun
presence on social media we are growing with the demand! We are now at
Gallery 992 which is in the same neighborhood as our previous location
and we are adding an, ootional, open mic element!
THE WRITING WORKSHOP IS ONLY $5 - Buy your $5 ticket in advance for
you and your friends - you still can't beat a writing workshop lead by
an award winning professional, a Dj, an open mic and cash bar Tuesday
night experience for $5!
The, optional, open mic is the best way to get immediate feedback from
your peers and we are doing something new during the open mic! You
have to come and check it out and find out for yourself!
QUEEN SHEBA, Creative Writing Professor at Clark Atlanta University,
award winning poet, author, spoken word artist, comedian and Dj - has
opened up her living to anyone who wants to come to a no bullshit
skills lab for the past year and a half.
WHAT STARTED IT ALL?: THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS WRITER'S BLOCK.
However, sometimes we get into a slump, or we make every excuse why we
can't sit down and write...something...anything. Even if it's what we
think is trash. Even if it's just the beginning of something.
Sometimes you just need a few friends and an encouraging atmosphere to
get those creative juices flowing.
WE, OCCASSIONALLY, THROW SPECIAL EVENTS, go on creative field trips
and vibe with other writers that have more insight on where writing
and performing is happening in Atlanta.
YOU THINK YOU'RE A VETERAN WRITER? Yeah - well, so what. You should
show up more often than the new writers. You know what it takes to
grind out a new piece. Dedication and editing! I bet you have
unfinished works piled up in composition books, legal pads and a
segment cemetary on your laptop. Don't let your ego get in the way of
your next award winning work. Have something you've been working on
and need some unfiltered feedback? This is your living room.
THIS GROUP IS LEAD BY an 18-year-veteran award winning writer who
needs the accountability and motivation to set aside some quiet time
for the brain to relax and let go. Some great new pieces have emerged
because of the group comments.
THIS IS A NO FANFAIR EVENT. This means, there are no cameras, no
videos, no selfie filters. We don't even have Facebook page and our IG
has about 30 people on it. We are not saying selfies aren't allowed -
we are saying that for once, put away the bullshit, show up in your
throw-on hoodie and messy poneytail cap and come to write and
participate. Come and go as many weeks as you please. Take a break.
Come back. But ALWAYS come back.
BRING - your own WRITING SUPPLIES. Although there might be extras;
don't count on it. Small snacks or snacks to share on our community
snack table are ok to bring, please no full plates or dinners. We have
a potluck every 6 weeks - show off your cooking skills, then!
Beer and Wine available for purchase at our new location!
We have fun rules to keep things running smoothely given at the
beginning of workshop.
BE PREPARED! You will make friends. Even by accident.
8:30P The door to Gallery 992 are open
9:00 -10:30 Weekly writing prompt and group writing time
10:30 -12midnight Feedback and optional open mic segment
