Remember that novel you started writing seven years ago? Is it time to finish it? Maybe you want to write your first screenplay? Pour some poems onto the page? Settle into a daily writing habit?
Join a community of writers and artists who just want to write. Here’s how it works: Join the Zoom meeting. Say hello if you want. Write. Stay the full 90 minutes or leave early. Hang out after if you feel like reading your work or hearing someone else's.
