Sit & Write
This generative meet-up gathers on Sundays from 5:00-8:00 pm ET via Zoom. We began at a West Philadelphia coffee shop in May 2019, then moved to the University of Pennsylvania’s Kelly Writers House until the pandemic forced us online indefinitely. This group’s sole intentions are to:
Office hours are unstructured conversations about writing, mostly. It’s a great time to ask questions, share creative obstacles, and offer recommendations. It is not a workshop or a time to share one’s own writing directly. If you connect with someone and want to exchange writings at a later time, that is totally fine.
There is no cost to participate, nor is there any commitment. You can come once, or join every week, if you like. You can stay for all 3 hours, or you can drop in and out at your leisure. My only expectations of you are that you will: be kind to others, behave “appropriately” when on camera/microphone, and keep your mic off during silent writing time (5:15-7:45 pm ET.)
Updates and links to the meeting are announced in my weekly newsletter.
If you have access needs that are not met by the current format, please let me know.
- Designate time and space for writing/writing-related activities each week.
- Offer an opportunity to connect with other writers and discuss relevant issues, including the writing/editing/publishing processes.
- 5:00pm-5:15pm: Check-in (15 min)
- 5:15pm-7:45pm: Silent writing time (2.5 hrs)
- 7:45pm-8:00pm ish: Office hours (15-30 minutes, as needed)
