Writer's Coffee and Chat
Writing can be lonely. Sometimes we need to be with other writers to talk—or to listen to ideas related to writing––in a casual, free-style discussion. For example:
Although the chat is informal, be mindful about sharing the time with one another so everyone can have a chance to contribute to the discussion. The goal, after all, is to stay in touch with the heart of why we choose to write.
- Ask advice on writing issues, e.g., getting unblocked
- Compare writing processes
- Discuss advice received or read in a journal or on the internet
- Express concern about a genre and perhaps get input
- Recommend online writing sites and blogs
- Share writing opportunities, e.g., conferences and calls for submissions
- It is not a free write
- It is not a rant session
- It is not a critique group (don’t bring your novel or multiple copies of a chapter)
Although the chat is informal, be mindful about sharing the time with one another so everyone can have a chance to contribute to the discussion. The goal, after all, is to stay in touch with the heart of why we choose to write.
