The Room to Write . . .
The Room to Write connects and supports writers of all ages, abilities and means by providing physical space where writers are able to work and build community along with the structured programming and support individuals need in order to express themselves more effectively for academic, professional and creative purposes. Let's write on our own but not in isolation, with the opportunity for collaboration and the advantage of having a little Room to Write.
So many of us want to write, love to write--need to write, but for a variety of reasons we cannot find the room to write. Perhaps we do not have the physical space to practice our craft or we just cannot seem to buffer ourselves from the everyday distractions in our lives.
To truly focus on our own thoughts long enough to scribble them onto a page we need to make some room in our lives to find our own voice. It is something that many artists long for, yet it is the first thing to be eliminated when the rest of the responsibilities in our lives wiggle their way up the list and into the forefront.
