    Do you love to write? Is writing the air you breathe, or is there ink in your veins?

    The Stittsville Creative Writing Group is a collection of people who love to write.

    We meet weekly to read from text we have written on our own time during the previous week, and engage in other writing activities.

    This is not a class on writing, or a workshop for manuscripts. Instead, we are people who love to write and share our works. 

    There are those who mostly listen rather than write, those who write prolifically but only share with the group, and a broad spectrum in between.

    If your interest is in the love of writing, this group may be for you.

    Curious about Dungeons and Dragons (a.k.a. 'that game from Stranger Things')? Give it a try with this one-session-long adventure for beginners! 

    D&D is a popular fantasy role-playing game in which you and other players take on the role of different characters to explore, solve puzzles, and fight or outwit monsters. Learn the basic rules of this popular game as you undertake an adventure with fellow players!  

    This adventure uses pre-generated characters, so you must register by Wednesday October 9th to receive a list of characters to choose from and receive your character info-sheet before game-day. Late registrants and those who do not reply to the character-choosing email will be assigned a random character.

    Ages: 12-17 

    Note: Can't attend this session? Register to join the repeat of this game scheduled on Saturday November 9th!
