Drop-in gatherings for no-excuse writing.

By Meis­ter des Maréchal de Bouci­caut

Join us for a 90-minute stretch of focused writ­ing in the com­pa­ny of famil­iar faces and a mid-morn­ing nosh or bev­er­age.

We’ll keep the first hour ded­i­cat­ed to pens on paper, so bring your note­book and what­ev­er writ­ing project is on your front burn­er. Not work­ing on any­thing spe­cif­ic right now? No prob­lem. We’ll even bring a few prompts and writ­ing ideas to get you rolling on some­thing new.

For those who wish to share your work or your writ­ing process, let’s dis­cuss! We’ll lift the silence ban for the last half hour.

Where:
Sum­mer Thyme’s Bak­ery & Deli
231 Col­fax Avenue, Grass Val­ley, CA

When:
Wednes­day, Jan­u­ary 30, 2019
10:00 — 11:30 a.m.
