Announcing Side-by-Side Writing Sessions on Thursday Nights

For so many of us, an entire day flies by without a single minute to devote to our writing. Before we realize it, a whole week has passed and we haven’t made any progress on our works-in-progress.

On the flip side, some writers spend so much time working that they never leave the house, never have the benefit of even limited social interaction with a community of other writers.

To address both of these issues, the NRAS Writers Workshop is happy to announce the introduction of Side-by-Side Writing on Thursday nights at the G.A.R. Hall. Starting on April 8, members of the Writers Workshop are invited to gather DOWNSTAIRS at the G.A.R. Hall, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., every Thursday, for two hours of dedicated writing time among their peers.

These weekly Side-by-Side Writing sessions will be very different from our monthly Writers Workshops. You just come in, grab a seat at a table, and start writing; work on whatever project you’d like to work on in a quiet but energizing setting. At the beginning and end of the evening, we can set aside a few minutes to chat briefly and exchange work, if desired. It’s not designed to be a workshop or critique session, but it might be a good opportunity to reach out to other writers and make arrangements to meet off-site, or share work via e-mail, etc.

It’s a drop-in, no-commitment format: You don’t have to come every week…but you can come every week if you’d like to. We’ll make room at the tables!

Please bring your own writing materials: notebooks, journals, laptops with FULLY CHARGED batteries.

NOTE: To access the hall’s downstairs, please enter through the SIDE DOOR, on the left side of the building, so that we don’t disturb the art class that’s in session upstairs at that time.

So please mark your calendars: THESE WEEKLY SESSIONS BEGIN ON APRIL 8.
