Hello fellow PhDrs

Pre-fieldwork hurdles? Chapter deadlines? Yay! Let's write together and make it all a little more enjoyable.

I couldn't get a full room for today so we will have a later lunch. We are going for 7 sessions of 50-30 minutes with a lunch break later in the day. Room is booked until 17:00 so we can keep going if we're in the flow. We will start by discussing our writing goals for the day and then I (Molly) will be timekeeping.

08:45   Arrival - discuss goals for the day

09:00 - 09:50 Session 1 [50 mins]

(we have the room until 17:00) 

The writing group will be in in Room 122, Bute Gardens. You are welcome to dip in and out during the day- whatever works for your writing mood! Extension leads are encouraged. 

I have added tickets and capped the number of people at 12 due to room capacity, register in advance to avoid disappointment. Please note, term time resulted in almost all rooms booked, I was not able to reserve a room that can cater to all accessibility. There are a few steps at the front of this building, I will do my best to ensure a more accessible room is reserved for next event.
