Open invitation to sprinters!

One of the best way to get words down on paper is to set a timer and work without distraction for a period of time.  Hope manages a writers’ chat room where writers meet every day from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm Eastern for timed writing sprints.  There are spaces available.  If you are interested in joining the writing sprint community please contact Hope to get the link. The community is friendly and filled with writers at all levels.  So don’t be shy.
