As we gathered around the table for our very first meeting, one of the girls told us how she had tried to explain What In The World A Writing Group Is to her husband.

"I told him it was like when he goes to jam with his band..."

"That's it!" I interrupted her. "This is a Writer's Jam!"

And it makes perfect sense because it's about people coming together to do something they love... together. To "jam".




Ingredients: 

• 3+ human-sized containers of diverse 'fruit' {weirdos}
• A distraction-free zone
• 1 large table with enough chairs to accommodate everyone
• Drinks: both hot and cold
• Snacks: if you're a better person {and more prepared} than I usually am
• 1 'reliable' WiFi connection
• 2 lbs of open-mindedness
• 3 lbs of vulnerability
• One ton of motivation

Directions:
  
Combine all ingredients in a house-sized pot and simmer over the supportive warmth of people who 'get you'.

Mix. Enjoy. Repeat.
