Write-In NYC
The Write-In NYC is a mixture of writing from prompts and mingling with fellow writers, with food and drink served.
Here’s what happens. The teacher gives an interesting writing prompt. Everyone writes for a while. Volunteers may read their work aloud. You take a break and socialize. Then you go through the process one more time.
No pressure, no critiquing, no angst...
Just untamed creativity.
No matter what type of writing you favor, this is sure to shake up some fresh ideas.
Bring your creativity and we’ll provide snacks and beverages.
What a great way to start off my weekend! Writing, getting positive feedback, meeting new people and eating cheese is an awesome combination.
