Join us for some focused writing time. 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 and meeting other writers in your area.

When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. We'll follow the Pomodoro method with a 25 minute sprint, a 5 minute break to check in and stretch, then a final 25 minute sprint.

Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!

A note about the format
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Other Important Details:
Travel / Parking info: Plenty of parking out front. We'll be at the large table on the left as you walk in. This is a powered table so feel free to bring your power or usb plug if needed.
