No need to rush, simply finish what you are working on & get packed up (15 m) 9:30 celebrate accomplishments - even if it's just showing up, we would love to know how your writing journey went today. Spend our remaining time discussing your projects or thoughts on the group. Network with your fellow local writers and leave at your own pace. Our space is booked until 10am.
