The Write Time on Piedmont

Welcome to Write Time!

We'll meet up on Wednesday at 5:30 PM on the upstairs deck of Doña on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland and wrap up by 7:30 PM.

In terms of structure, we'll write in two 45-minute blocks and aim to follow this structure:
5:30 - Meet up, say hello, settle in
5:45 - Writing block #1
6:30 - Break and check in (not required! keep writing if you're in the flow)
6:45 - Writing block #2
7:30 - Finish

Doña has food if you're hungry and coffee, tea, beer, and wine if you're thirsty. They are kindly letting us use their space to meet, so please buy something to support them.

A few common questions:

• Yes, there is wifi. But it can sometimes be hard to join when there's a lot of people.
• You can come or go at any time. Don't worry about showing up late or leaving early
• Feel free to wear a mask! We'll be outside, but some people are still more comfortable masked and that is 100% fine.
• Doña has a parking lot, but it is small and paid. There's free parking on the street, though, and a large parking lot with free parking behind Walgreens, which is just a few blocks away.
• While we love prompts and critique groups, this gathering is just for getting words down onto the page.

Come and join us! Anyone who writes is welcome!

Also, if you're on the waitlist but really want to come, I encourage you to do so. It's very common for people to RSVP, then not show up. We'll almost certainly have space for you!
