We also host a writing group, hosted over Zoom. It runs every two weeks, Mondays from 14:00-16:00 BST/GMT. In these sessions, we bring our own work, and after a little chat, mute ourselves and start with whatever writing/other work we have to do. The social aspect of seeing other people can help with concentration and motivation!
