Here’s a Thing: There’s a group for creative writers in the Twin Cities! It’s an organized thing, with meetings and everything. Anyone can join, and if you want to go to a meeting you just go for it. There, you’ll chat with other word nerds about reading and writing and all that other good stuff. And you don’t have to worry about not finding the group the first time you decide to go, because they’ve got a suggested signifier: just stand a book up on your table and your new pals will know exactly who you are. Check it out!
