Want to write but having difficulty finding focus? Then join other creative writers once a month, for an hour of silent focused writing.The coordinator, writer and writing teacher Joy Rhoades, will provide a short introduction, which will be followed by 40 minutes of silent writing.

Joy will provide a writing prompt too, for those who wish to try a writing exercise.The writing session will end with volunteers reading a few lines of their work and with a check in to see how writers fared with their time.

Scheduled on Monday evenings (London time) once a month, this is intended to help you kick-start your creative week with some writing.
