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.
It is a space where you are accountable to your writing project with a supportive instructor and classmates who are all rooting for your success.
