Life is too short... Life is too short to read boring books or to eat boring food at boring places or to do boring things! This is not the place for fuddy-duddies. This is the place for the calmly audacious. Dullsville has no place on our maps and our only four-letter word is YAWN. Here is where you are if you like your inner monologue at its' maximum potential. Here is where "these go to eleven". We welcome you to join us and help us to turn things all the way up!

Just like the creative minds of Percy and Mary Shelley, the Pittsburgh writers group is a "Meetup" where multiple minds will hold each other accountable to writing the stories that have played in our heads every night before bed. Rather than dwelling on the stories we are going to writer, we'll actually put our stories into action with weekly or biweekly assignments that we can share with each other. Critical feedback is also important as we sharpen the stories we plan to impart upon the world. …
