Event explanations:
- Unmoderated co-working: Log on and work with other Chez Rambo peeps. You don’t have to be working on writing! Structure is up to the participants.
- Moderated co-working: Cat or designated other will lead three thirty minute sprints, with check-ins to say how we’re doing in between. You don’t have to be working on writing!
- Chillax and chat: Hang out and craft or clean your virtual or real workspace while we talk about stuff.
- Story discussion group. Happens in the morning one week, the afternoon the next. Story changes every two weeks; titles and links will be posted on Discord and Patreon. Additional resources will be in #thepanel channel on Discord.
- Writing Games. Happens in the morning one week, the afternoon the next. Bring a prompt if you like. We all write for 10 minutes to the same prompt, then people who want to share theirs. Then we do that a couple more times. Great jolt of creativity.
There will be some last-minute open-to-all classes and writing games; they will be announced on Discord and Patreon with as much advance warning as possible.
