Virtual Writing Group

 Virtual Writing Group

Virtual writing, also known as silent writing or focused writing, is a popular technique used by writers, academics, and graduate students to increase productivity and overcome writer's block. Through the practice of silent writing, individuals gather online in a quiet and distraction-free environment, allowing them to concentrate on their work and unleash their creativity.

 

Zoom Session

Meet virtually on Zoom for an hour twice each week to work on a current writing project.
A 30-minute open chat/reflection will be held immediately following each hourly session of silent writing.

Participation

Participants can choose whether to activate their cameras during the sessions.

Attendance is optional but absences are not refundable.
