So I wasn't sure what to call this group, because some folks may think a bit...differently when I say "Adult Creative Writing Group," but this is simply a group of creative writers that are not younger than 18. đŸ˜… No charge for these meetings, because I am not 'teaching' it, and also I want to join in! Come grow as a writer!
