About the Group
- This is a silent writing time.
- Purpose: helping each other show up and write. (This is not a critique group.)
- Wednesday mornings. Two separate sessions are available. 7:15-7:45 AM Eastern time & 10:15-10:45 AM Eastern time (which is 7:15-7:45AM Pacific Time.)
- Participation is come to whatever you can, whenever you can.
- On Sept. 16th, we begin our autumn set of Wednesday sessions, and we're adding a third option: 9:30AM Eastern Time.
- Video optional, but generally no distracting activity going on. (Turn off video if you need to/want to, especially if distractions enter field of view to others.)
- Microphones muted except for a brief minute or two at the beginning and end of the session.
- People work on their own projects (NF, F, poetry, etc.).
- Goal-sharing (in the chat section) is optional. Writing down brief thoughts on a goal for the week or the session can be helpful.
- Questions can be directed to me through P&W messages during the week or in the chat during a session. (SJ Cote)
- Suggestions for how you might choose to spend the time: make bullet lists related to your project, scene or poem; have a mini-freewriting session on an under-developed scene or chunk of your writing or start freewriting on a new topic of your choice; work on revising a draft or a chunk of a draft.
- Each session is a small group of writers writing together. Generally, people pick the time slot (or slots) that work best for them. Also, remember that people can "show up" with their video off. We understand. It's early. :)
