Just Write

Just Write

Just Write is a six-week class, where writers come together to…just write. It’s open to writers of all levels.

Do you find it hard to get yourself in a chair to write for a good stretch of time? If so, you’re not alone. Oh, no.

That’s the beauty of Just Write. You gather with a group of writers once a week for three hours and you…just write. You work on a project of your choosing, which can be any type of writing—novel, script, memoir, stand-up routine, etc.

A teacher is present, offering brief features: words of wisdom, discussion, intentions for the coming week. You can participate or just keep writing.

Whether you’re charging through a rough draft or refining your work, you’ll find this a valuable time to get something done.

About Just Write
Just Write

It really made me write. Just having to show up once a week forced me to get down to business. I got more done in the six week period than in the last year.
