Doesn't matter what you're writing or working on, how many blocks you join, or how much progress you make - you'll feel good that you showed up to back yourself and your goals! Camera / mic are optional so you can work from anywhere. Want to join? RSVP before the session starts so the join link will show. Here's how: 1) Click to Join the group - now you can use discussion board, get announcements. 2) Click RSVP for the session - you can RSVP for one or multiple sessions. You RSVP up to 8 weeks in advance through to about 5 minutes before the start. 3) Click join link - the link is available a few minutes early so you can test any settings.

Discussion board / help: If you have a question about the group or did not RSVP before it started - sorry, there's a good chance that I will not see or respond to discussion board posts till after the session. This is my focus time too. Joining mid-block? Be on mute. Post your intro and writing intention in the chat and get writing, we'll catch you on the hour for the check in / break. Don't want the break / check in? Turn volume down. Post in the chat that you're 'on a roll', we'll skip you! Leaving early? Post your farewell in chat. Take a moment to celebrate what you accomplished. Group vibe: Writers are encouraged to use the chat to connect, commiserate, celebrate, and encourage each other as we share the ups and downs and move our projects forwards.
