By the end of 2012 I'm supposed to graduate from Cal with a PhD. That is, if I can write the thousands of words I need to put down on paper! This group is for other grad students who need peer support for their writing. My goal for the group is to set aside two hour sessions a couple of times per week where we set a manageable goal for that session, and complete it. Each meetup will begin with a 15 minute "buffer period" where we can grab coffee, catch up and state our goals for the 90 minutes. …

This is a group for anyone who wishes to complete a writing project--aspiring fiction and non-fiction writers and graduate students working on their thesis. We offer: 1) A daily place to gather and write with others, so that you can establish a routine away from the distractions of home. 2) Support to finish your project 3) Guidance about how you can publish your work, find an agent, etc. 4) Opportunities to brainstorm and exchange ideas with others (if desired)
