1. On the first of the month, you will wake up to the Short Story Dispatch containing the Google Meet invite for the month’s write-ins.
2. On the day of the write-in, we’ll open the room 5 minutes early for awkward small talk.
3. At 12 noon, I’ll remind you to drink water.
4. At 12:50-ish pm, we’ll wrap up the session. You can either slip back to your regularly scheduled programming unnoticed or procrastinate for another few minutes with everyone else.

I can’t very well encourage you to break writing rules and then post rules about your writing time! You have full autonomy during write-ins. Come and go at any time during the session and have your camera on or off. If you join late, I’ll invite you to introduce yourself in the chat: where you’re from, what you like to write, and what you’re working on. The chat is also the place for writing related discussion during the session, and I am available via DM for brief questions.
