Here's their blurb:
Dear Colleague,
 
Are your daily writing plans constantly getting derailed by teaching, service, family, or other demands on your time and attention? Do you find yourself giving in to internal resistance, spending too much time on emails or social media, making endless pots of coffee, or re-cleaning your entire living space before you can finally sit down to work on your research and writing? Do you believe you could write if only you had the luxury of 鈥渓ong, uninterrupted blocks of time鈥 (that never seem to materialize)? Well, you're not alone, friend!
 
If you鈥檙e ready to try a new approach to getting some work done, we invite you to join us. We are a fellowship of 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis faculty, graduate students and program staff 鈥攆rom all disciplines and levels鈥攚ho have decided to band together in a co-working space for the express purpose of writing. Together. With a timer. Here is a link to a free online timer: http://e.ggtimer.com/ (you can also use your own timer, your phone, or stopwatch).
 
This is not meant to be a socializing space; the emphasis will be on working on our writing in an environment of mutual support as a community of scholars.

See you there!
