Writers Group in Bogotá

Hey,

A while back (the end of October, I think) there was a post about finding or starting a writing/literature group in Bogotá. I was wondering what happened with that or if anyone was interested in starting one now.

Thanks,
Megan

Deciding to post about was really as far as I had thought this through. I guess since there seem to be three or four of us interested, we should find a time and place to meet and we can talk about what we want from the group.

I'm free almost every afternoon and weekends. I sometimes write in Milano in Parque 88 (at 15 near the flower shops) but I'm not married to that location.

Maybe e-mail me (megan.eb at gmail.com) with availability and we can work something out.

Ok, it sounds interesting. But, I have to plead ignorance here. . . What does a writer's group do?

Well, it's a group of people who are writing or are interesting in writing who get together and write or share what they've written and offer help (constructive criticism). I'm more interested in the getting together and writing bit as well as talking some about topics and whatnot than actually critiquing each other's work.

I'm interested in writing. But how do you write together?

Also, am I the only guy interested in this? Is this usually a women's thing?

Write together as in sit together while writing individually and discussing what we are writing. It isn't necessarily a women's thing, most of the info I found online about finding a writer's group was written by men.

I am VERY interested and would even host the first one if needed. Although I have to admit I just moved into my place and it would be a floor sitting experience. Plenty of room though.

I write travely stuff, and you guys? I think this is a brilliant idea!!!!
