Write for an Hour
Sometimes it’s easy to get distracted when we’re writing on our own—whether it’s the laundry that needs transferring, that group text about Friday night, or the uproarious laughter from the next booth over, it can be hard to accomplish what we want to. Write for an Hour gives us the time and space to write among others who are doing the same, and the opportunity to chat about it a bit before we start. We will have beverages and snacks on hand and look forward to an hour of shared company and nonverbal support.
Second Sunday of the month.
