Monthly Writing Time

Would you benefit from having a standing appointment to focus on your writing? Based on the popularity of our National Article Writing Month (NaArWriMo) program, we're hosting voluntary drop-in monthly writing times for two hours on the third Friday of each month during the academic year.

In these sessions, you can opt to move to a breakout room to discuss writing issues with other attendees, or remain in the main room to work silently alongside other colleagues for the duration.

Join us on Zoom for some or all of each event! 

Please RSVP here to let us know you’re interested. A few days before the session, we’ll email you a link.

FAQs

Q: I can't attend a session, but I'm interested in others. Should I register even if I can't attend?

A: Yes! Once you register, we'll send the monthly links to all the registrants. Come if you can, and we understand if you have to miss some sessions.

Q: What's the premise behind this?

A: For some time, there have been companies offering "body doubling" as a productivity tool. Our session works in two ways: you have a dedicated time on your calendar to get writing done, and you get the benefits of body doubling with other library workers.

Q: Do I need to prepare for the sessions?

A: Nope! Just show up and start at whatever point in the writing process you're at. We're happy to have you!

Q: I can't stay the whole two hours. Can I join for a portion of the session?

A: Absolutely! We welcome latecomers and those who need to leave early, and we hope that any time you can spend with us is productive.

Q: It turns out this isn't my style. How do I stop receiving notifications?

A: Just respond to the email and we'll take you off the list!
