Organizer’s description
Coworking for writers in your area! Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area. When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. The timing is approximately: * 5 pm - Chit chat \+ check-in * 5.15–6.45 - Uninterrupted writing (if you come during this\, just sit down and start scribbling\!) * 6.45 - Tell us how it went Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries! Good Karma stays open until 8pm, and serves beer and wine as well as NA drinks and food. A note about the format We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.
