An update on the Writing Room in light of the Covid-19 pandemic:

In order to stay safe and to care for our community, we will suspend our gatherings at Forbes Library. However, I am able to host the Writing Room using videoconference technology on Wednesdays only. 

On Wednesday mornings (only) we will meet via videoconference at our regular time: 9:30-12:30, using the exact same structure as we would if we were gathered around the table in the Watson Room at Forbes. The only difference will be that we will be connecting by videoconference, rather than face-to-face. Each session opens at 9:30 sharp with brief hellos, followed by the pleasure of getting work done in the company of others, although virtually. At 11:45 we check in about how the work went and make announcements. At (roughly) 12, anyone who wishes to read for the group does briefly, without critique or spoken response. We're done by 12:30.

Here's all you need to join the Writing Room via Videoconference:

• To connect by smartphone, tablet, ipad, computer or laptop simply click on this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82300075906
• Meeting ID: 823 0007 5906
  Passcode: 528575 
• I will come online 15 minutes before our starting time (at 9:15) to answer any questions you might have. 
• You will have the option to have your camera off or on, so you can join however you feel most comfortable.
• The sessions will NOT be recorded, and you have the option to be visible or not, so your privacy will be preserved just as it would if we were meeting at the library.
