I decided to start this group because I am very interested in comic books, Sci-Fi, and horror movies and I wanted to meet people and give others the opportunity to meet people who share these interests.

Join this group if you are into comics, sci-fi, and/or horror movies and want to meet up with like-minded peo …

After sampling the book groups throughout the greater Fort Lauderdale area it occurred to me the area was devoid of a co-ed group tailored toward smart young professionals. There are a large number of great groups for women, but my gender proscribed my participation in them. Therefore, with the hopes of filling the gender gap, I am creating the "Libation and Literature" book group. The group will cater towards achieving the fine balance of socialization and substantive discussion. The group will …

Join us for a book club at The Bookstore in the Grove, a small independent bookshop that is fast becoming a favorite place for literary enthusiasts, groups gathering to discuss books, and anyone who wants to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine with a homemade pastry or an empanada! Our book selections are determined by the group of participants, and primarily focuses on literary fiction. Discussions are lively and intriguing, with plenty of varying opinions.

This group should be writers of fiction, drama, and poetry.  Since most creative ideas for writers come from within us, we have found that regular writing of a diary, a journal, or of memoirs, is a vital part of creative writing. By writing memoirs, or keeping a journal/diary, we tap into the vast creative storehouse of our memory on a regular schedule.   We should meet weekly and each member should be prepared to read his or her week's memoir or journal, usually about 500 to 2,000 words. We wil …

Any of this sound familiar? "I want to write but can't find the time..I'll finish this novel someday...the laundry is more important than writing...coffee and strangers makes me write SO much better." Okay so maybe not that last one but wouldn't it be great if it were true? The concept for this meetup is simple: We set a time, we get together, and we write. We make a promise to ourselves to haul the literary rock up and over the hill, and then let the fellowship of writers set it to rolling. May …
