You’re already a writer. You’ve got a manuscript of some kind you’re trying to get down on paper, but finding the time to do it in this modern life is a challenge. Or maybe you know you want to write something, but you keep getting stuck. False starts, mushy middles, and fade-outs dominate your manuscript, preventing you from making the progress you want.
Do these dilemmas sound familiar? Most of us go through them at some point or another, but maybe we don’t have to. Join master teacher Angélique Jamail for a Creative Writing Happy Hour once a week to trouble-shoot whatever you’re working on and get some writing in. This is not a workshop. It’s not a class. There’s no specific homework. You won’t be given prompts (unless you ask for one) and won’t have to produce anything for formal critique. Just show up with your writing, your questions, and whatever snack or beverage you want for a one-hour Zoom session to start your week off with a creative, nurturing vibe.
Each session will adhere to a basic structure:
All skill levels welcome. Writers can sign up for a one-, two-, or three-month subscription.

Each session will adhere to a basic structure:
- 15-20 minutes of trouble-shooting with a creative writing expert in which you can get your own questions answered and/or learn from others’ questions
- a 20-minute writing sprint in which everyone writes quietly on whatever they want to work on
- an optional 5-minute chat session in case any new questions have come up
- one more 15-20-minute writing sprint
- You’ll be amazed by how much writing you can accomplish in 20 focused minutes!
