Hi All,

Join us for a lively writing session. We’ll gather at 10 am for a quick check-in, and then we can settle in for nearly two hours of concentrated writing.

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.
