Get your writing time in and tell your story.
As a writer, you know you have to actually do the writing to make your stories come into being. And it’s legitimately hard to find the time and make the commitment to it.
Accountability works. As does working alongside fellow writers in the sweet quiet of the Wordcrafters studio. No espresso machines screeching, annoying music playing, or folks chatting. Plus, you can get up and go to the bathroom whenever you need to! And you won’t have the distraction of laundry or other procrastination chores.
When you sign up to show up for your writing work, you’re so much more likely to actually do it. These low-key write-ins give you the space, time, and community to make it happen.
“If you want to commit to getting your writing done, then you should join us.“
-Gale Ann
