02/04/2025 Another sparkling Tuesday with the Eastside Tucson Writing Room. It’s primarily a Zoom room now since the “early days” in 2013 of meeting every Tuesday, in-person for 3 hours of uninterrupted silence, while the creative energy swirled around us. Now our Tucson contingent has expanded across 9 states. The Zoom room is still filled with creative energy, new approaches for drafts, character study, revisions, and marketing. Open to adult writers- most genres, inclusive, kind. Contact me if you are interested.
