**HELLO FELLOW WRITERS!** **Well, finally we have our twelfth OPEN MIC night completely booked! Number 12 is fitting for the holiday season.** ***Our event is on December 20th (6pm to 9pm).*** **This time the Toronto Writers Community had booked space at the incredible venue, [Tranzac](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxZg-qLc5_g) \- in the Annex neighbourhood of Toronto\. Thus we have our first event where we booked a room for ourselves\. We will be in the Living Room\, the smaller of the two large rooms\, but big enough for our purposes\. The bar is in the other room\, but we can move between the hall\.** **Bring yourselves, friends, and your talent. As always, this event is free. Please contact me here or on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/torontowriterscommunity/) if you are interested in reading your work! This will, yet again, be a night to remember.** ***Let's have a fun send-off before the holidays!***

Struggling with motivation and focus as you hammer away on your manuscript at home? Want to join a community of writers as we embrace the joys and pains (mostly pains) of writing together? Bring your laptop, pen & paper, old-school typewriter, or futuristic writing gadget, and join an enthusiastic community of science fiction and fantasy writers as we work on our current projects in the same space. The format will be similar to our online writing sprints: 30-minute blocks of focused, quiet writing time (the sprints), interspersed with breaks where we can chat, ask questions, and share our writing experiences.

If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write!

Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
