What if I have never written before?

Come on through! These writing sessions are here to get you inspired and help you get the pen (or keyboard) moving. No previous experience necessary.

Do I have to write to the prompt when one is given?

Absolutely not! Write Now sessions are designed to be flexible. Whether you're looking for inspiration, or just want dedicated time to write, the point is to write, now. No pressure, just progress, and maybe even a little fun!

What if I'm too shy to share what I've written?

No worries! Sharing is completely optional.

Is this a formal workshop or totally unstructured?

It's neither! Write Now sessions are not workshops, but they are led by experienced writers who offer inspiration as you kick off your writing session and act as a resource throughout your writing time.
