I have found meetup groups for professional moms, single moms, professional women and yet no active one for Professional-Single-Moms.

ESPECIALLY trying to balance it all alone. Here's my attempt to form a group where we can make it our own, more then just occasional play dates but forge friendships for ourselves and children, support and ju …

I think, if we all were to watch a film then discuss a film with fellow screenwriters afterwards - from the perspective of breaking down how the sto …
