QOTD
A few words of wisdom from the masterminds behind the Apple corporation. "Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to … Continue reading QOTD
Share The Space
One of our memberships was created with people like me in mind - the struggling writer, recent grad, nervous to check balance in bank account type. But this membership isn’t taken advantage of nearly as much as some of the others. Possibly, I thought, people just don't know that it's an option. We offer the … Continue reading Share The Space

A Night Out
Safehouse, the writer/actor workshop that meets here at theOffice every Monday night is hosting another fundraiser for our space. It's a night of original one-act plays from some very funny writers. Last year they sold out, so if you're in LA and looking for a night of witty and ridiculous theatre, check it … Continue reading A Night Out

On the internet vs. writing. Well I am a novelist, unlike most of my fellow writers at the office, so I probably have less reason than most to be online. I do use google or wikipedia for quick research questions, but generally I try to stay offline while I am working. Its too distracting. I … Continue reading Member Chatter
