This month-long special offering provides the opportunity for writers to commit to making progress on their works-in-progress while strengthening their writing community. Commit to a project this November with a two-day weekend kickoff, and continue the momentum with weekly check-ins. Attend as many sessions as you’d like. Marcia will facilitate goal-setting, prompts, and discussions about breaking through writer’s block while providing support all month long to get your words on the page.

Writers of all levels are welcome.
