Come one, come all to the August Combo Workshop! Whether you're a fiction writer or a poet, all will find a place in this month's workshop extravaganza!

We'll be relaxing and having fun in a prompt-style writing workshop where we'll be randomly passing out writing prompts and have limited time to write a short piece or fiction or poetry about it. Whether you've been to a workshop before, or are a newcomer, all should find this is a workshop they can feel comfortable participating in. :)

The workshop will be co-run by myself, Lauren2010, on the fiction side and the lovely and magnificent Audy on the poetry end. With Audy in attendance, there's no reason not to come!

We'll be starting at 4:00pm EST, which I believe is 9:00pm GMT, on Friday August 24th. I might work out a more diverse examples of times and add it to this post later, but there are loads of good time converters online that can help you out! Just keep in mind some areas may be experiencing daylight-savings-type time changes at the moment, so adjust accordingly when calculating! (I know we had some mix-up about it last time.)

I'll post the link to the googledoc where the workshop will be held on this thread about an hour before the workshop goes off, and I'll try to PM it to everyone who expresses an interest in coming as well! There's also usually a few of us milling about in the chatroom beforehand who can get you the link if you need it.

Hope to see you there!

I'm in!
But I fear I am still confused about the time?
When would it be in Californian time? ://
I'm not good at time...

What about Texas time? (I'm also really bad with time.) Oh, and I'm pretty sure I'll be in. ^_^
If I said something offensive, I don't mean to be rude but it's just my opinion or ...well it's called honesty.

I have never been so annoyed that I have to work. I may drop in at the beginning, but I'll be fleeing for work about halfway through. Boo!

I'll be there if I figure out what it would be Indiana time?

I believe both Indiana and West Virginia are EST, so 4:00pm

Just a note, EST is Eastern Standard Time, or the east coast of the United States. If you live in the U.S. it's pretty easy to figure out the conversion if you know your time zone. :)

I believe that means 2 pm Arizona time? Since we don't do daylight savings, I have no idea if we're the same as Colorado or California right now... I'll see what I can do~ :3
I have to write. I have to write the same way I have to eat, the same way I have to breathe. It's like life to me. I have no idea where I'd be if I didn't do what I do.

Think of it as Friday, Aug 24 - 5 hours after the time the thread was made.
