Praise be! Writers. This “call to workshop” is our literary version of Sunday Mass in which we’ll share communion with the page. Offered the fourth Sunday of each month, members of the congregation will respond to prompts that invite us to pen our petty penchants, fractious fragments, fabricated fictions, flights of fantasy, baffling or beautiful blasphemies—whatever might come and however it might arrive on the page. Under the gentle guidance of each month’s visiting liturgical leader, we’ll be encouraged to express in writing our poetic avowals, lyrical incantations, laudatory epithets, creative connections, celebratory declarations, grammatical gratitude, and prayers to the page. Saints, sinners, non-believers, and writers of all denominations are invited to participate. Date | Every last Sunday of the month from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., starting on February 27 Location | Online via Zoom Register here! Members: $10 Nonmembers: $15 This clas is brought to you by San Diego Writers, Ink.

A highly-produced multimedia reading series, The VAMP Storytelling Showcase presents an evening of several writers performing works with audio and visual accompaniment revolving around a changing theme. February’s VAMP Storytelling showcase is a romp of stories about what happens in bed, the place we commit haunting sexual acts, indulge our untreated depression in marathon bouts of sleep, drive our otherwise sane partners to homicidal rage with our sleep apnea; literally anything is possible in bed! Put a towel down and get ready to tell the kids the sounds they heard were just you eating mac n’ cheese! Date | Friday, February 24 at 8 p.m. Location | Whistle Stop Bar For more information, please visit sosayweallonline.com/vamp or call the venue at (619) 284-6784.
