DESCRIPTION:Gutsy Creatives: Writers. Thinkers. Innovators.\n**Did you wri
 te this week?**\nCome join our online writing group session. We're a suppo
 rtive and friendly peer group that welcomes writers of all genres\, styles
 \, backgrounds and skill levels. Global group!\n\n**WHAT WE'LL DO:**\n**Ou
 r goal is to get writing done.** We'll start with a brief hello and writin
 g project check-ins. Then we'll clock 50 minutes of writing time. We don't
  offer a prompt. People work on all kinds of projects - or even simply wri
 te in journals.\n\nAfter the writing time is up\, you can stick around and
  volunteer to read what you wrote\, or listen to others. We try to keep re
 adings under 7 or so minutes each\, with another 7 minutes or so for peopl
 e to respond.\n\nWe're not a hard-core critique group. Feedback focuses on
  what people thought or felt when they heard your work\, or provides simpl
 e suggestions for making the work stronger. We're a positive\, encouraging
  group. New members and drop-ins always welcome.\n\n*This event is shared 
 by the Seattle Writers Group\, who have been meeting weekly for over 17 ye
 ars. Since adding an online option\, the Seattle Writers warmly welcome wr
 iters from all over the globe to join writing sessions.*\n\n**HOW TO JOIN:
 **\nThis meetup is held via zoom. RSVP on meetup to see the zoom link.\n\n
 **RSVP:**\nDon't let the RSVP count fool you! There are always be more peo
 ple than shown. This event is posted on two meetups. Plus\, many regulars 
 have the link saved and do not RSVP on meetup. You won't be alone\, we pro
 mise!\n\n**TIPS:**\n\n1. Be prepared with something to write with - pen an
 d paper\, or keyboard.\n2. Reading or sharing your work is completely opti
 onal.\n3. Totally fine if you can only join for the writing portion and ca
 n't stay for the readings.\n4. It's easier to talk to you if we can see yo
 ur face\, but you don't have to turn your camera on.\n5. You will be able 
 to preview your video before you enter the meeting. You can keep your vide
 o off the entire time if you wish.\n6. If this is your first time using zo
 om\, click the link 5 minutes before the start of the meetup to get all se
 t up.

DESCRIPTION:Horror Geeks South Sound Group\n**Welcome to the Spooky Spooky
  Book Club!**\n\n**\\*Triggers for book at the bottom\\***\n\nCome join us
  for snacks and drinks while we talk about horror books at the library!\n\
 n**Book of the Month:** *The Immaculate Void* by Brian Hodge\n\n**Book Sum
 mary**\nYou wouldn’t think events happening years apart\, at points in t
 he solar system hundreds of millions of miles distant\, would have anythin
 g to do with each other.\n\nWhen she was six\, Daphne was taken into a nei
 ghbor’s tool shed and came within seconds of never coming out alive. Mos
 t of the scars healed. Except for the one that went all the way through.\n
 \nYou wouldn’t think that the serial murders of children and the one who
  got away would have any connection with the strange fate of one of Jupite
 r’s moons.\n\nTwo decades later\, when Daphne goes missing again\, it’
 s nothing new.\nAs her exes might agree\, running is what she does best\, 
 so her brother Tanner sets out one more time to find her. Whether in the m
 ountains or in his own family\, search and rescue is what he does best.\n\
 nBut it does. It’s all connected. Everything’s connected.\n\nYou can c
 heck the trigger warnings at the bottom\, or dive in blind if you prefer a
  surprise.\n\nDon’t worry if you haven’t finished the book\, we’ll s
 tart by chatting about whatever spooky (or not-so-spooky) reads we’re en
 joying before diving into the featured title. Come for the eerie atmospher
 e\, stay for the lively conversations and\, of course\, the cats\, because
  let’s be honest\, that’s why you’re *really* here\, isn’t it? <--
 - I guess this isn't true anymore :(\n\nQuestions? Feel free to drop a com
 ment or message me (Gonzalo) for more details. Hope to see you there!\n\n*
 *\\-\\-\\-Triggers**\nContains a graphic depiction/recollection of the abd
 uction and physical torture of a young child\, along with references to a 
 child predator and murdered children..\n\\-\\-\\-
