What happens during co-writing sessions?
The format of the co-writing session is designed to provide an opportunity for members to meet and write. After you log-on, you and other writers will be greeted by your results coach and provided an opportunity to connect with the community (verbally and/or in the chat) and share your goals for the session. After goals have been shared, all members will be provided 1 hour of focused writing time. Members can opt to leave their video/audio on or turn it off. After the writing time has concluded, members will come back to talk about their progress and plan for the next session.
