[...] Room to write – No office space at home but hate working in coffee shops? Portland’s got plenty of communal workspaces for writers, part of a nationwide trend of shared workplaces. [...]

This is the first I have heard of these little paradises. If only Detroit were a “major metropolitan area”.

Maybe I will start one.

Jeffrey: Thanks so much and I couldn’t agree more about the need for writers get together – virtually or physically – to share experiences and support each other. I think that’s why some of the virtual communities for writers have done so well. Portland’s lucky to have so many spaces for writers, maybe it’s part of our growing creative community.

Thanks for your blog, Michelle, and the wondrous mention of the Writers’ Dojo. I love the idea of compiling a list of writers’ rooms. When we started, I interviewed 10 directors of rooms from around the country. Their support and ideas were extraordinarily helpful. I’d be happy to offer similar assistance to folks who are starting a writers’ room. We’ve learned a ton over the last year. Mostly, it’s vital for many writers we know to discover solace and community. There can be a sense of urgency, at times, looking up from the page, to meet other serious writers, literary artists and professionals.

Workforce Management did a story in August about the “co-working” spaces like Green Desk in Brooklyn. Not just for writers, but any kind of freelancing professional who is going a little stir crazy: http://www.workforce.com/archive/article/25/70/74.php (registration may be required)
