About

Welcome to Popcorn!

Popcorntheblog is dedicated to all things writing, as loosely defined and interpreted by us.   We are a group of like-minded women who have come to the writing life from a variety of vocations, along a variety of winding paths and find ourselves now, finally, ready to do what we love.  Our work has been published in newspapers, magazines and award-winning blogs, commended in national and international writing contests, garnered book deals, and been applauded by diverse readers, at least some of whom are not members of our immediate families.  With this blog, we aim to share our views and experience on reading, blogging, publishing, keeping sane, staying happy and being Writers.

Why Popcorn?   Several of our bloggers belong to a writing group that meets biweekly at a funky cinema/restaurant in Seattle.    We’ve tried other, more convenient meeting places, with better acoustics, better wine – but we keep returning to the cinema because they serve the most divine popcorn imaginable.   If you’re ever in Seattle’s Madrona neighborhood on a Tuesday night, drop us an email and stop by – you’ll see why we love our popcorn.
