We start gathering at 4:15 for some chit-chat, then do intros/accountability at 4:30 and write for an hour starting by 4:45. I've found that it can be amazingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you on Mondays.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, poem, or just plain work stuff, you're invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.

SCHEDULE
• 4:15pm - Everyone starts to arrive and get settled.
• 4:30pm-ish – Quick intros.
• 4:45pm – Timer starts and the writing hour begins.
• 5:45pm – The end of the hour is announced.

Optional socializing happens following the one-hour session. Writing is very solitary, so connecting (and commiserating) with other writers can be a great thing.

Being late is okay—just show up when you can.
