NYC Writing Accountability Group (WAG)

At this event, we'll meet to discuss the political philosopher Leo Strauss and debate any connections his followers or his ideas might have had with the Bush Administration and its decision to go to war in Iraq.

Assigned Reading for Session 2:

We will meet to discuss strategies to increase our writing output, and brainstorm our project ideas. This is a not a critique group; we will not be evaluating each other's work. Rather, we will discuss habits that help with writing or barriers that prevent it, and how to get around those barriers.

The meeting will proceed as follows:

START
5 mins - group norms, brief introductions
30 mins - we will go around the circle one by one and say what we have accomplished in the past week and what we want to accomplish in the next week. We will also discuss how much we did day by day, each day.
20 mins - writing
15 mins - break/check-in/brainstorming/socializing
10 mins - writing
10 mins - break/check-in/brainstorming/socializing
END
