Friday Grad Write-In

Friday, November 1, 2019 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM EDT
Fenwick Library, 3001

The Writing Center, in partnership with the University Libraries, sponsors weekly write-in mornings for graduate students during the fall and spring terms on Fridays from 9:30 - 1:00. Writers gather in Fenwick 3001, bringing their coffee, laptop, a set of goals, and a commitment to arrive on time and stay for the entire session. We begin with a short conversation about goals and end with a short wrap-up on accomplishments. The remaining time is dedicated to writing. A Writing Center consultant is on site to coordinate the session and to take consultations.

If you're looking for group accountability and a space to write with other Mason graduate students who are also serious about making progress on their writing goals, sign up for any number of sessions between one and twelve. You may schedule just one or two sessions to get started on a course project, or attend all twenty-four to give yourself regular, structured time to work on a thesis, dissertation, or other writing project.

If you register for a write-in, you are committing to

·    Arrive on time and to stay for the duration

·    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

Seating is limited, so please register ahead of time. You may cancel up to 2 hours before a session.
