Dear Colleagues,
This semester has been filled with Zoom meeting after Zoom meeting, which leaves little time for much else. The Write Club invites faculty to put a block into their calendar to think and write.
For one and a half uninterrupted hour Wednesday and Friday, we will gather virtually in order to have a distraction-free write space, allowing everyone the clear atmosphere to get their thoughts onto paper. Anyone can join Write Club but everyone must follow the Write Club rules:
- The First Rule of Write Club - You Do Not Talk during Write Club. You Write.
- The Second Rule of Write Club - You Do Not Talk during Write Club.
- The Third Rule of Write Club - No Phones. No email.
- The Fourth Rule of Write Club - If you are asked to do something during the time set for Write Club, Say No.
- The Fifth Rule of Write Club - Call Your Shot. State what you intend to write at the start time.
- The Sixth Rule of Write Club - Check In at the end. What Did You Write?
For the first 5 minutes of the day we will talk about what we are working on, and then we will turn off Zoom, phones, emails to focus on writing. Then last 5 minutes we will talk about what we have accomplished.
Note: you do not have to participate every Wednesday and Friday. Please come join us for the time you are available to be able devote your time to writing.
Time: 9:00 a.m.–10:30 a.m.
Facilitators: Jennifer Pankowski, Senior Faculty Fellow and School of Education; and Christelle Scharff, Faculty Fellow and Seidenberg School of CSIS
