A Recipe For Writer's Jam

A recipe for writer's jam #write31days Alanna Rusnak

As we gathered around the table for our very first meeting, one of the girls told us how she had tried to explain What In The World A Writing Group Is to her husband.

"I told him it was like when he goes to jam with his band..."

"That's it!" I interrupted her. "This is a Writer's Jam!"

And it makes perfect sense because it's about people coming together to do something they love... together. To "jam".


Writer's Jam noun. a sweet and savory treat; resulting from the simmering of diverse genres,
best served warm with creative highs and poetic word porn.

or

Writer's Jam verb. creatives actively pursuing support and relationship
through a common adoration of story-telling.

  • 3+ human-sized containers of diverse 'fruit' {weirdos}
  • A distraction-free zone
