We meet via Zoom to discuss an aspect of writing to focus on for that session. Perhaps it's adding specific detail, or improving dialogue, or working with voice or point of view. We then write "together" (with our without cameras on). We can respond to a prompt or apply the concept to our works in progress. It could be fiction, non-fiction or poetry. We then gather again as a group to discuss the experience.
