A morning writing space in the company of others. A varied group - beginners; dabblers; professionals; highly published; not published at all; morning pagers; poets; memoirists; horror enthusiasts; flashers; pitchers; list writers; students. Doors open at 7am PT (10 ET). Arrive whenever you like. We each write in silence for the first hour. We break at the top of the hour (8 PT/11 ET) to talk, check in, share whatever comes up, then back at it. Feel free to drop in any day, at any time along the way, and stay as long as you like. We may read occasionally for anyone who wants to share what they're working on. Whatever you're writing, we're delighted to have your company.

This is an ongoing daily meeting. We meet every morning, Monday through Friday. PLEASE NOTE: The Zoom link below is new as of September 2, 2024. This link remains the same daily until November 22, 2024.

Online event

Note: There is a password required to join this Zoom - the password is **silence**

Come sit in group silence to meditate, contemplate or whatever calls you.

Structure (shown in minutes past the hour since there are different time zones)

* :00 Please enter our space muted. As much as we like to be friendly and acknowledge each other, please do so with a smile and wait until 20 mins past the hour for any speaking.
* :01 Sit in silence and stillness for 12 minutes. Leaving your camera on is encouraged unless you know you cannot be reasonably still (e.g., if you are moving about or eating breakfast please turn your camera off while doing so)
* :13 Coming back, we continue in silence for a few more minutes. We encourage you to turn your camera on unless you know you can't be reasonably still.
* :16 Optional sharing of individual reflections on today's silence that contribute to the group's purpose. For instance: “I tried a new prompt where the only thing to think about is ‘I wonder what my next thought will be’ and it was really helpful” or “I started out feeling very distracted by the birds my roof, but I was able to reframe the irritation into an appreciation of how wonderful It is to be this close to nature” or “I hadn't done a body scan meditation in a while and I forgot how powerful it can be.”
* :20 Optional casual conversation begins (feel free to stay and chat for as long as you want.)

A few reminders:

1. Please mute yourself when you join - we will begin the silence at 10:01 ET / 7:01am PT.
2. We have received feedback that it's preferred to sit quietly before the actual 12 mins start, so when you join, please refrain from "chit chat".
3. After the 12 mins are up, we will let everyone know (so you don't need to keep track of time yourself).
4. If you need to drop off early, feel free to just exit the Zoom (no need to let us know.)

Join us for casual discussions, friends & fun! We are a member driven group that encourage our readers to choose the material we read and discuss.

\*\*Book Description: "\*\* ***Mad Honey *** by *Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan*

Goodreads Choice Award
[Nominee for Best Fiction (2022)](https://www.goodreads.com/choiceawards/best-fiction-books-2022)
*A soul-stirring novel about what we choose to keep from our past, and what we choose to leave behind.*

Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising a beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in, and taking over her father's beekeeping business.

Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

And for just a short while, these new beginnings are exactly what Olivia and Lily need. Their paths cross when Asher falls for the new girl in school, and Lily can’t help but fall for him, too. With Ash, she feels happy for the first time. Yet at times, she wonders if she can she trust him completely . . .

Then one day, Olivia receives a phone call: Lily is dead, and Asher is being questioned by the police. Olivia is adamant that her son is innocent. But she would be lying if she didn’t acknowledge the flashes of his father’s temper in him, and as the case against him unfolds, she realizes he’s hidden more than he’s shared with her.

*Mad Honey* is a riveting novel of suspense, an unforgettable love story, and a moving and powerful exploration of the secrets we keep and the risks we take in order to become ourselves.

Here’s a fun opportunity to give back in our community. Lasagna Love, an organization i volunteer with on occasion, is doing two group cookoff events and the goal is to make at least 75 lasagna’s to help cover some of Richmond’s backlog.

There are several ways that you can help out:
▪️Sign up to participate in the cookoff, there are 2 dates: Saturday November 16 and Saturday November 23. Signup Genius link and event addresses below.

▪️Make a lasagna at home and dropoff at one of the events. It can be full size 9x13” tray, or loaf pan size. Any lasagna recipe is fine, just add a label listing all ingredients so it can be matched to the right family or individual.

▪️Donate ingredients for the cookoff, these are listed on the Signup Genius link below.

▪️If you wish to you may join Lasagna Love as a volunteer and participate as much or as little as you like. Its a self serve type of position and the organization sends you a match (individual or family that has requested a lasagna), you then contact them (text/phone/email) to arrange date and time for dropoff. You bake and deliver!
