Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00 PM on Wednesday evenings at Starbucks. (Address: 4501 Van Buren St, Riverdale Park, MD 20737.)
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are 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.
We'll meet inside the coffee shop. Please buy something to ensure we're welcome back. Sit down anywhere, but let me know you're here so we can introduce ourselves and check in before and after writing! (I'll be the one with the sign.)
SCHEDULE:
7:00 - Quick introductions
7:20 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:20 - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing
Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at Starbucks!
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write! Note that outlets are limited, so please make sure your devices are charged.
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the overhead music or the conversation by other patrons.
