Writing Alone, Writing Together
Make plans to join members of the Hampden Writers Group on Saturday, September 12th at R. House for quiet(ish) in-person creative writing.
We’ll kick off right around 1:00pm. We’ll probably be in the main hall, but we may decide to write outside on the patio if space inside is limited or occupied, or if it’s especially nice out.
The agenda is simple:
1:05-1:15p – we’ll do a round of introductions including name, neighborhood, pronouns, and what you’re working on.
1:15-1:40p – we’ll participate in a quiet, timed 25-minute writing sprint (see definition below)
1:40-1:50p – choose your favorite single sentence from what you wrote; if you’d like, you may share it with the group.
1:50-2:20p – a second (and final) 25-minute writing sprint.
2:20–2:30p – wrap up and head out!
And don’t worry! If you’re looking for inspiration, we’ll have a number of prompts with some fall-themed ideas that’ll get your creativity pumping (pumpkining? idk). Maybe you’ll begin a piece that you’ll share at our writers & poets open mic? Or maybe you need some distraction-free writing time to close out a project in progress.
This event is free, but feel free to let us know if you plan to attend by clicking the RSVP button below:
You don’t need to be a member of the Hampden Writers Group to participate. We encourage you to patronize the vendors (R. House has multiple food stalls as well as a full bar), but all you’ll need to bring is your preferred writing implements and your imagination. We hope to see you Saturday for Writing Alone, Writing Together, but we plan for this to be a recurring event, happening once or twice each month!
