Scholars Guild ✒ Writing Circle 👁️🗨️
A weekly time to work on writing and research projects, with periodic opportunities for feedback and sharing. We meet Tuesdays from 6pm-8pm in the Solarpunk Library with the green couch and comfy chairs right in the first room of The Commons.
This week will have peer review that you can take part in, with longer discussion time and shorter quiet time! The plan is for each person to read and give feedback on two other works, with 25 minutes per piece. The sign up sheet to do so is here.
🔭 WHAT WE DO
As much as possible, this writing circle should serve its participants! Come with your own project or be inspired by others, but ultimately they are your goals to set and accomplish! 🌠
✍ Typical Session Structure
15min | intros & intentions
circle(s) answering: what are you working on? (achievements from last week?) what do you hope to get done today?
75min | quiet write
either writing, note taking, review - does not need to be writing only, but should result in words somewhere
30min | reflections & remarks
circle(s) answering: what did you get done? do you hope get any writing done by next week?
open discussion on further ideas, comments, questions, concerns ;)
