Writing Marathon - October 1, 2022, ONLINE and IN PERSON at Carmichael Library

This will be a hybrid Marathon, so you may attend In Person or On line. The IN-PERSON meeting will take place in the Carmichael Library, Community Meeting Room. Please bring head/ear phones if possible as this reduces distraction of ZOOM delay for in-person attendees. ON-LINE attendees will receive the meeting link upon registration. It will also be posted here shortly before the meeting. (Check below in comments). Join other writers for three hours of focused writing. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a controlled quiet environment and lots of good creative energy!

A few guidelines for the Writers' Marathon Meetup:

You will have a chance to sign in and introduce yourself during the break. ON LINE, join with sound remaining muted
3. Please silence your mobile phone. If you must take a call please step out of the room to avoid disrupting other writers. Try to limit non-essential calls to the break.
4. You are welcome to bring your own snacks and lunch. Food and drink are allowed in the meeting room only. Usually some folks bring snacks to share. Coffee will be available.
5. If you are bringing a laptop, please make sure it is fully charged as outlets may be limited so we cannot guarantee enough for all.
