Drinkers with Writing Problems is a writing circle formed in October 2012 in Chicago. Our members meet on a regular basis, most often at a neighborhood bar. Over rounds of drinks, we share our ideas, give each other writing assignments and exercises, and encourage each other to stick to our writing goals. Our group has an array of interests, from fiction to poetry to comedy. We all come from different backgrounds but share a common love — alcohol. This blog is a collaborative project where every day a different member of the circle will post new work to share, best enjoyed with your choice of a refreshing beverage and possibly a saxophone.

Drinkers with Writing Problems 
Wishing I lived in Chicago…
Wish I could join you guys!
The name of your site is great.
I don’t drink well. I’m not a good drinker. Is that a pre requisite to join?
It’s not a prerequisite to join. Wow. This is response is way late!
You guys sound fun
Do you subscribe to the “Write drunk, edit sober” line of thinking?
HA! Contrary to popular belief, we only start drinking toward the end of writing our pieces… but don’t stop until we wake up the next morning.
I tried the “write sober, edit drunk” idea once. It did not go well. I woke up the next morning to entire pages angrily crossed out in red! Anyways, I love your blog! I’m a Crown and Coke before some fantasy writing girl myself 🙂
This idea is awesome!

Love it! I don’t know if I’d be able to wait till the end to start sipping though hehe
Where do I get the Saxophone?
It might be cheaper to rent!
What a great idea! Someone I follow reblogged a post…I absolutely loved it and now I’m following! 😄
We appreciate the follow!
Loved the post I just read – Dragons Breathe Fire. Wish I lived in Chicago! 🙂
XOXO! We do, too! We can always use more drinking buddies!
I have nominated you for the Liebster Award. The title of your blog is enough to win an award.
