About this event
Our mission is to provide a place for writers to sit together and work on their projects. It will amaze you how motivating it is simply to be in the company of your fellow writers! And, you will see progress, even if you only spend one hour per week on your writing. Whether you are in the brainstorming phase or working on your final draft, this is the group to get things done. THE SCHEDULE: 6:30 - 7:15 PM: Arrival, chit-chat, purchase refreshments, etc. 7:15 - 7:25 PM: Announcements and introductions 7:25 - 8:25 PM: WRITING (No talking, please. Hence the title of the group) 8:25 - 8:40 PM: Finish writing, chit chat, introduce latecomers, etc. LATECOMERS: It's fine if you arrive late, but if you do please quietly take a seat and begin writing. You will have a chance to introduce yourself to the host and fellow writers at the end of the session. After the writing session is over, feel free to stay and keep writing or get to know one another. The Bean Gallery is open until 10 PM on Fridays. NOTE: There may not be any available electrical outlets, so make sure your electronic devices are fully charged.
