welcome to the SPRING constellation series:
A WEEKEND OF mg/ya eXCELLENCE

A Writing Date is basically productivity through peer pressure and honestly, any co-working is welcome.

A Writing Date is basically productivity through peer pressure and honestly, any co-working is welcome. Structure: This session is led by by an author or flight crew. Chat until quarter past, then work until the hour. Rinse and repeat. During writing sessions, keep your mic off, but your camera on (optional). Knowing that people can see you helps prevent procrastination. Clicking “Join the Room” will send you the writing room. Depending on the crowd, there may be a brief wait before you are admitted to the Zoom.
