The Midtown Writers Meetup Group

 
 
 

We are doing some virtual sessions. I will host each one for an hour using my free Teams meeting hour. The sessions will follow the usual format - write to a short prompt and then share (or not) what you wrote. We will go for only an hour. You DO NOT need Teams to join.

Instructions:
1-Click the meeting link (visible only to those who RSVP).
2-Select to connect using your browser.
3-Select to allow Teams to use your mic and camera.
4-Type your name, check that video (camera icon) and mic (mic icon) are toggled over to ON.
5-Click Join Now.

 
 
 

We meet in person at Salsa A La Salsa in the Midtown Global Market.

Please bring a mask—Although a mask is optional while you are writing, you must wear a mask when you are holding and using the microphone.

What we are about—Our meetups are about generating writing. We set a time (usually from 1 to 7 minutes), choose a prompt, and then we write. When the time is up, each person has the option to read or pass. Then we do it again.

What we do and don't do—We do enjoy the creative process, turn off our inner editors, let our imaginations play, and have fun! We don't do any critiquing. We don't read anything written outside of the Meetup.

Bring your favorite pen and notebook—but please leave your laptop at home. If you need assistive tech, please bring whatever you need and let the leader know when you arrive. Otherwise you will get plied with spare notebooks and extra pens.

Enter through the lobby—The Lake Street doors are not open at 9 am. The lobby is near the back of the building. If the door on the Chicago Avenue side is locked, ring the buzzer so the guard can let you in. Salsa A La Salsa is just off the lobby on the Chicago Avenue side.
