Do you miss being able to write in cafes, surrounded by the aroma of coffee and the companionable tapping of fingers on keys? Come write with playwright Bridgette Dutta Portman on Zoom every Saturday afternoon. We will spend the first few minutes of each session checking in with one another and sharing encouragement and professional resources. Then we will simply WRITE. Work on your play, novel, poem, or whatever your current project may be. Optional prompts will be provided for anyone struggling with writer’s block. Drop in whenever you feel like it, and stay for as long as you please. And while we can’t provide the coffee, you are welcome to bring your own!
