• Quick introductions.
• Share a writing win, challenge, or goal for the session.

### 0:05 - 0:10 | Themed Discussion & Inspiration- optional

• Brief discussion on an anti-capitalist theme, quote, or question. The goal here is to brainstorm and get our minds to start rolling. Have you come across anything recently that made you think of the antagonism between Capitalism and relationship formation. (Example- after 40+ hours of work and 5 hours in commute for the week, does our heroine go out and flirt with her mercurial lover or plop down on the couch with a party size bag of hot cheetoh puffs and netflix. or “How does capitalism shape our idea of love and relationships?”)
• Or: A short, thought-provoking reading or prompt to guide writing.

### 0:10 - 0:50 | Focused Writing Time (30 minutes)

• Silent solo writing session.
• Members can choose to work on their projects or respond to a shared prompt.

### 0:50 - 0:58 | Sharing & Feedback (Optional)
