Blackwick Writers Guild

We support Colorado writers in being loyal to their work and all humans in finding literary community.

My local writing group (@longmontwriters) has put together our first issue! Our theme was firsts/beginnings, and you can find our stories here: https://t.co/afZvFVL16p. We're excited to share them with the world!

I finished a short story and I hate it! Every last word of it! It's the worst thing I've ever written but at least I can say I wrote the middle of the story for once instead of only writing the beginning and the end like I usually do! #amwriting

Writers. Some will shame you for spending time on social media, making playlists, outlining, research – anything that’s "not actually writing". But you know what? You’re STILL A WRITER.

Planning, marketing, getting yourself hyped, self-care... THEY ARE ALL IMPORTANT. #amwriting

@LongmontLibrary Do you have any information on the criteria/guidelines for submissions? Thanks! :)

On first drafts:
“...amid the anxiety and self-doubt, there should be a real sense of your imagination and your memories walking and woolgathering, tramping the hills, romping all over the place. Trust them. Don’t look at your feet to see if you are doing it right.” -Anne Lamott

Poetry workshop tonight at Blackwick! Bring a poem or a short segment of a WIP to the Dickens for some peer feedback & friendly support :)
