Tired of working in solitude from home? Feeling unmotivated? Working out of the coffee shop and always smelling like espresso? (not that smelling like coffee isn't the hip new thing...) Or maybe you are paying WAY too much for one of those fancy shmancy, stuffy -- er I mean, executive -- suites? That’s why we created CoLoft. The main theme here is that we work better together, not alone. CoLoft is a coworking space where you can get work done, run your business, and meet and converse with like-m …

This group is created specifically for Creative Writers, who know they have something beautiful, meaningful, or helpful to say, know (or may not know yet) that they are incredibly talented, can make the time for writing, yet somehow, something else seems to always get in the way. We all know how self-defeating procrastination can be, waiting for a better time ("when I have more hours, when I am less rushed, etc.") until the opportunity is lost, but also that procrastination is merely a habit.

Hello future friends and socialites! This group was inspired by one lonely night at a bar where I was eating and minding my own business, when suddenly droves of people (droves!) walked in, filling the place.

Hopefully we'll all make some new friends and explore this awesome city! About YOU- this group is primarily inte …
