Our Write-ins start with a prompt. Participants write for about fifty minutes and then read what they have written. It's a great way to get your creative juices flowing and start your day. You can also write about a project you are working on and use or not use the prompt; it's your choice.

Our method instills a sense of commitment to writing, providing a gentle push to get started. We value camaraderie and foster a welcoming environment where participants are not obligated to share their work. While there are no strict rules, we kindly steer clear of political discussions to maintain a friendly ambiance.
Join us on Monday and Wednesday Mornings at 9:30 a.m. 

After three attendances, we require membership in the Houston Bay Area Writers League. It's only $30 a year. (We can help if you need it. Just ask.)
