Reacting's Best Kept Secret

September 30, 2022 3:54 PM | Maddie Provo (Administrator)

VIRTUAL WRITING ROOMS

Reacting's best kept secret is its ad-hoc virtual writing groups. They started with one session a week in the spring semester of 2022. Due to demand and Reactors who can host more sessions, Zoom Writing Rooms (ZWRs) for Reactors are running five days a week in the fall of 2022! These member-organized and led groups are organized as spaces where Reactors can block off time in their calendars and join a supportive virtual space to work on their writing.

How It Works
Each one is 1.5 hours long. Generally, everyone is invited to say "Hi" and check-in on what they will be working on during that session. Then, participants go on mute and work on their writing. Some people leave cameras on, but most turn them off for this part. A few minutes before the session ends, we check in on how things went. Many Reactors who participate in the rooms say they help them to block out time and focus on important work. (Sometimes, people grade and don't write per se! But, that's still helpful.)The ZWRs are a different set up than the writing accountability groups (WAGs) for game designers that was featured on this very blog. Another perk of the group is all the cat tails and dog snoots that join us on screen during the check-in times!

How You Can Get Involved
You can find the F22 ZWR schedule, hosts, and links here. If you can commit to hosting a weekly ZWR at a time we don't already have one organized, please contact Traci Levy, Levy@adelphi.edu, so she can add your information to the shared Google Sheet.
