Writing sessions are generally planned on Mondays and Thursdays, except for the first week and a half, which is family vacation time. During this time I will write three times, any days.
Normally I will write at my desk. During vacation I will write either on my tablet or on paper to be typed later.
The concept of community is new to me. I will take this opportunity to learn more about it.
