SUMMARY:The Space
DESCRIPTION:There’s something supportive and encouraging about having that screen full of faces\, the tops of heads\, shoulders\, all concentrating on writing. So we have set up The Space\, a dedicated (virtual) space for us to write alone\, together. \nThink of it as your favourite library\, a coffee shop\, or a co-working space. It’s a room full of writers at work\, and it’s a way of making a commitment to yourself to show up and write. Pop in to The Space to work on any writing project that you like – and in case you need inspiration\, an optional writing prompt from Francesca will be emailed in advance\, for you to use\, adapt or ignore. Or she can send you it when she welcomes you in. \nCome and go as your please\, and feel free to make yourself a cuppa. We’ll work in silence but halfway through there’ll be the option of joining small-group break-out rooms for 5 minutes\, for a quick chat. \n  \nZoom Info will be posted to the Facebook Writing Squad group shortly before we kick off!
