Hi there! I am working on my dissertation and am looking for a writing-accountability partner(s).  After consulting articles on writing support groups (http://chronicle.com/article/The-Writing-Da...) and about successfully getting beyond ABD (all but dissertation), I decided to see who else in the east bay would be interested.

Anyone interested in this writing group would be looking to:

1) consistently meet 1 - 3 times/week to get work done at a local coffeeshop,

2) have the capacity to provide and receive constructive feedback on writing.

3) be productive (a page, a paragraph, a chapter of writing, etc. each week);  

 

We'd probably spend the first 15 minutes checking in and discussing the writing goal(s) for this writing session. Then we'd spend the next 1 - 2 hours writing. It'd also be nice to check-in at the end of the session to discuss whether we met our goals and troubleshoot any obstacles to reaching our writing goals.

 

I am flexible on the meeting times (writing between 10am - 1pm or 4-8pm on any day of the week)? And would be open to a café that is equi-distant, given where those involved are traveling from. I look forward to hearing from you! MM
