Got some writing to do? Hate sitting down to it all alone?  Join my Writing Hackathon for two hours on Thursday. Just bring along your writing project, and work in quiet companionship. There is no charge. This is not a workshop. It is an opportunity set aside time to get your writing work done alongside other quiet and purposeful writers. There's how. We have four 25-minute writing sprints with five minutes debrief between. We are focused and task orientated. I hope you can make it. There’s enough room for eight of us. First in, first served. No latecomers.
