Ames Writers Collective
Join us on the 1st Saturday of each month at 10 AM as we come together to write in community for two hours. We’ll spend 90 minutes writing in peaceful silence. Afterward, we’ll regroup to share our progress and reflect on the experience.
Join Ana McCracken for Open Write Tuesdays on Zoom.
WHAT’S AN OPEN WRITE?
We Zoom in, share what we’re working on, and write for ~90 minutes. At the end, we share our successes, and sign off. Easy peasy.
