Arlington "Commitment to Writing" Group

Past Event

Friday, February 19, 2016 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM EST

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.
