After settling in, we will write independently for an hour or so, and close by sharing what we are working on. Come for the mutual accountability; stay for the writerly chit-chat... or slip away to browse the bookstore's treasures. Whatever your tolerance for socializing, you deserve to bask in the external motivation of companionable silence.
