FAQs · NEW YEAR WRITING NIGHTS
Do I have to arrive on time? You can drop in or leave anytime. If you arrive late, you’ll miss our check-in at the beginning of the session. If you leave early, you’ll miss our check-in at the end. You’ll be automatically muted when you join.
What if I can’t make it every week? I’d still love to have you! Attendance will not be taken.
Do I have to have my camera on? Nope! We’ll do some sharing at the beginning and end of each session, but participation is optional. We will have our cameras and mics off for the rest of class.
Will I fit in if I’m not a “writer?” Absolutely. If you’ve always wanted to write, this is a great place to get started. If you’ve been writing awhile, this is a great place to continue.
Are you going to make me feel guilty if I don't get any writing done? Absolutely not. That's the beauty of committing to weekly writing time: when we show up for our writing regularly, we start to get a sense of our own process and how it ebbs and flows. If one session is more ebbing than flowing for you, we're here to cheer you on. If you need to use your time during New Year Writing Nights to bring a book to the bathtub and unwind, we're here for that, too.
