Arlington "Commitment to Writing Group"

Friday, February 5, 2016 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM EST
Van Metre Hall (formerly Founders Hall), Arlington Campus Library

Sponsored by the Arlington Library, the Commitment to Writing Group is designed for PhD and Masters students seeking group accountability and a quiet space to write. This event is modeled on the popular Friday writing group in Fairfax. Students should bring their coffee, laptop, a set of goals, and a commitment to arrive on time and stay for the entire session. The group will begin with a short conversation about goals and end with a short wrap-up on accomplishments. The remaining time is dedicated to writing. Helen McManus will coordinate the session. 

If you register for this event, you are committing to:

• Arrive on time at 9:30am and to stay for the duration until 1:00pm
• Turn off access to Facebook, online games, and other computer/online-based distractions during writing time
• Minimize distractions by phone by limiting texting and phone calls to scheduled break times
• Contribute to a supportive writing community among fellow participants

 Registration is required. Please go to the Library Workshops page and select the date you'd like.
