Disabled Writers’ Drop-In
October 2 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Disabled Writers’ Drop-InThis monthly virtual meet up is a chance for Disabled writers to connect and write in community. Emerging and experienced writer’s welcome. Whether you write all the time or are wanting to find ways to incorporate more writing into your life this is a chance to spend an hour together to make some room for our writing. Whether you use voice to text, a pen and paper, a brailler, typing or bringing someone with you to transcribe when writing, all methods of playing with words are welcome! This program occurs the first Wednesday of every month from 2pm-3pm.
Each meet up has:
-Opening go around sharing the successes and challenges of our writing this month
-20-25 minutes of writing time together. A prompt will be given but you are welcome to bring anything you like to work on.
-After writing we share lines or words to create a collective poem.
-Resource Wrap Up where we can share any opportunities, workshops, publication calls, events, etc. that might be of interest to the group.
-We end by reading a poem by a disabled writer.
