Writers' Room Hangouts - Regardless of what you are writing or working on, you may want company to keep you focused and in community. Sounds like sci-fi, but "body-doubling" (working in the same space with others) can significantly boost productivity, especially for those with ADHD! This will be a drop-in space where we will follow two simple rules:

• No talking in the main room, though communicating in the chat or Q&A is encouraged.
• Participants can go to a table (breakout room) to talk with each other or with a professor. There will always be a writing prof in the room to provide assistance.
