Meeting Format:

• At the beginning of the meeting, we have a short chat about what our writing project for the session while we wait for people to come into Lib106A or log onto Zoom.
• Then we "Shut Up & Write" for an hour or more by turning off our audio and video feeds.
• Finally, about 15 minutes before the end of the meeting (4:45 p.m.), we turn the audio and video back on for a short conversation about how much progress we made.

In person: We offer free beverages (tea, coffee, water) & simple snacks. If you can, please bring your own mug. We are open to anyone who wants to get some writing done. It's up to you whether you want to share or ask for advice.

We do not have strict start and stop times because class and work schedules vary. Come when you can and stay as long as you wish. However, the availability of Room 106A, beverages, and snacks are limited to the posted times.

Zoom: Because of Zoom bombers, the following rules are put in place:

1. The beginning of the meeting will be recorded. It will be used to report Zoom bombers. If nothing happens, the recording will be deleted.
2. Each attendee will have to turn on their camera for a few minutes at the beginning of the Zoom session to verify identities in case of Zoom bombing.

I regret any difficulties this may cause, but it makes for a much pleasanter experience for everyone.
