Online co-working for writers around the world!
Join us for a period of focused writing from the comfort of your own home. All writers and all experience levels are welcome, and don’t worry; no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done.

What to Expect
We start promptly at 6:45 AM Pacific time (9:45 AM Eastern), with one of our team leading quick introductions. After this ends in 10-15 minutes, a timer starts for 1.5 hours of quiet & focused writing. Next we finish with a quick check-in to see how everyone's writing went. If you need to leave early, or if you're in the flow, no need to formally checkout. Some post in the chat how it went before heading out. No blame, no shame if it doesn't go well

Latecomers: After 10-15 minutes of Intros, we’re in our silent-writing mode. For security and focus for our participants, the meeting may be closed to further attendees. Please join us another day, during our introduction time (see schedule below). We wish you happy writing!

Help Your Host
Zoom Name: Use your preferred first name and a last initial.
Zoom Video: Turn on during intros and check-ins.
Meetup Name: Preferably use the same name as on Zoom.
This is a safe, welcoming, and respectful space.
