… The facilitator will lead introductions and then the group will write for an hour. There will then be 15-30 minutes of social time to get to know each other and possibly discuss personal writing successes such as getting published or overcoming writing resistance in some small way. No critiquing, exercises, lectures, ego, competition or feeling guilty. Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else. Gloria Steinem

The quality of your work, degree of seriousness, and courtesy towards the group is the most important thing. The basic format of a meeting is such: Each writer brings in 1000 or so words from whatever they’re working on …
