Our meetings will be held at the Oklahoma City Coworking Collaborative, which is located in a beautiful part of Midtown OKC. You can find the official directions on the CoCo website or if that is a little confusing, you can try to follow my slightly-alternative directions give here:

The CoCo is on the corner of 7th and Hudson. I’ve found it easiest if you are coming up I-235 from the south to take the Harrison exit, which is a loop. The loop veers off to the left, going to a stoplight. You’ll want to take that instead of following the loop all the way around to Harrison Avenue, turn left at the stoplight, and turn left again immediately onto Walnut like you are going to backtrack. That road goes up to 10th street, where you will again turn left. Here’s a map of what your exit strategy will look like:

From there it’s easy: Follow 10th until you get to Hudson, turn left on Hudson, and then find a parking spot near the CoCo on 7th and Hudson.

Again, the official CoCo directions page lists out parking spots for you.

It’s official! The first OK Geek Writers meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 22 2009 at 6:30pm. We will be meeting at the OKC Coworking Collaborative in Midtown OKC. It’s a beautiful facility if you haven’t been there before. Directions are available on the CoCo website with maps so you won’t get lost.

The first meeting will consist primarily of us getting to know each other so we’ll have an idea of what kind of writers we have in the group. We’ll talk about what we enjoy writing, anything we’ve written in the past, and our future writing goals. We’ll also discuss what we’d like to get from this particular group and determine the best possible day and time for subsequent meetings.

I plan on bringing food and drinks, so I need to get a rough idea of how many people will attend this first meeting. If you plan on coming, please let me know. The best way is to join our mailing list and send out a message, but any means of communication is acceptable.

Welcome to the new web site/blog for the Oklahoma Geek Writers!  We’re a group of people passionately devoted to the writing craft in its many forms. No matter the writing emphasis, if you thoroughly enjoy writing this is the group for you. We welcome writers of fiction, non-fiction, technical works, blogs, code, haiku, poetry, and whatever else you can imagine. If it’s written and you can geek out over it, by all means come to our meetings.

Currently we plan on meeting monthly. The time and place are still to be determined. The meetings will consist of a variety of activities, from presentations, “howto” talks, creative writing prompts, reviews of written works, and of course free food/drinks. The direction of the group will be influenced by what you want, so make your opinion heard!

We look forward to having our first meeting very soon.  More details to come!
