DESCRIPTION:Cascadia Writers\n[Dues $60/year] **Struggling to establish a 
 regular writing practice?** Join Cascadia Writers at Cutters Point Coffee 
 in Hawks Prairie for a FOCUSED WRITING SESSION. Write whatever you like. T
 here are no readings or critiques at these sessions. Just camaraderie and 
 support of fellow writers. Group operating rules are listed under "About" 
 and our website [www.CascadiaWriters.com](http://www.cascadiawriters.com/r
 ules).\n\n**When you join Cascadia Writers\, annual dues are just $60/year
  after the 2-WEEK FREE TRIAL PERIOD**. Camaraderie and support for less th
 an the cost of a monthly latte. If you are trying to establish a more cons
 istent writing practice\, give us a try. Join/RSVP via MeetUp (required).\
 n\n* **4:30PM**(ish) -optional socializing\; settle in\, get coffee\, prep
 are to write\n* **4:45PM - INTRODUCTIONS:** Round-robin\; opportunity to i
 ntroduce yourself to your fellow writers\; mention what you are working on
  or what your goal is for today's session\, or whatever you wish to share.
  Or say "PASS" if you prefer.\n* **5:00PM - TIMER STARTS:** WE WRITE FOR 1
  HOUR\n\n**COST: FREE FOR PAID MEMBERS**\n\nSeating for up to 8 writers at
  our reserved main table. When we have more than 8 writers\, at 4:45PM we 
 all gather around for introductions & round-robin. At 5PM\, sit at any ope
 n table for the timed writing portion. **At 6PM\, rejoin group for final r
 ound-robin before departing.**\n\n**BRING:** pen & paper to write or your 
 pre-charged laptop\, Earbuds or earplugs if you need them to block out caf
 é music and background noise.\n\n**Join/RSVP via MeetUp (required)**\n\nW
 e try hard to stick to agendas. When we have many writers in attendance\, 
 we may need to shorten our individual introductions so that each writer ma
 y have a chance to say hello. When we have fewer writers\, we may not requ
 ire the entire 15 minutes for introductions and so you can chat as you ple
 ase until the writing timer starts promptly at 5:00PM or begin writing a f
 ew minutes early\, if you like. At 5PM\, we are quiet so all may write in 
 peace.\n\nCOME WRITE WITH US - establish and reinforce a regular writing p
 ractice!\n\n**Not sure what to write?** No problem! Write your author bio 
 if you don’t already have one\, use a writing prompt\, create a backstor
 y for a stranger\, or try journaling or free writing your thoughts.\n\n**L
 ATE ARRIVALS:** We understand traffic & schedule conflicts happen. It's OK
 . If you arrive after our writing timer has started at 5:00PM\, just find 
 an open seat and settle in quietly\, continue writing on your own until 6:
 00PM\, then we'll re-group to continue with our final round-robin & discus
 sion before departing.\n\n**NEED TO LEAVE EARLY?** That's OK too. Pack up 
 quietly and give me a wave. We understand and look forward to seeing you a
 t our next focused writing session.
