Weekly Write-Ins
Finding it hard to set aside time to write? Let’s do this together! We meet via Zoom three or more times a week for writing sprints, with at least one evening session for those who can meet during the day.
We usually chat for five minutes then typically write for 45-60 minutes. We have as many of these sprinting sessions as those participating want. Our structure is loose, and there’s no pressure. Brainstorming, sharing industry news, etc. is always welcome.
For more information, including dates and times, contact us.
