Have you been “meaning to write more”? Drop in and write Monday-Friday with other writers on campus.
This open drop-in writing group has been created so that you can have a regularly-scheduled time to write during the week. It’s also an opportunity to meet with like-minded people at MIIS (faculty, staff, and students) who also want to write. It’s open to everyone in the MIIS community. No writing critiques or sharing your writing, unless you want to. We just get together and write.
THE DETAILS
{Starting February 5, 2018}
Meetings are daily, Monday-Friday from 11:00-12:00, and are held in the McGowan 220 Suite, MG 220-C (unless otherwise specified).
Structure
The structure is very simple: Show up, say hi, set a timer and write silently for 25 minutes. Take a short break, chat about your writing project if you want, do one more writing “sprint” of about 25 minutes. Leave.
No writing critiques or sharing your writing, unless you want to. We just get together and write.
Commitment
You can give whatever type of commitment to this that works in your schedule this semester. If you can only come once during the semester, that’s fine. If you want to come daily, that’s fine, too. If you can come, but need to arrive late or leave early, no problem. Just be respectful of the other writers and try to come and go quietly if it’s in the middle of a writing session.
~ Feel free to invite others to join as well. ~
