W2P CHAT SCHEDULE

We meet 'live' each week on America Online, or via IRC. Our sessions are held each Monday at 7 PM Pacific time, with critiques a few times per month, and a variety of other activities (guest speakers, contests, educational topics, etc.) several times each year.

We hold most of our critique sessions in AOL's original Writer's Den chat room. We've been using that room for more than a dozen years now.

Writers Den room - AOL users

(To enter the chat room, one must have the full AOL program installed and running. Going to their web page, via any 'regular' web browser; or using AIM instead, is not sufficient.)

Note! We've checked out numerous possibilites for a new online meeting venue. According to our research, IRC chat rooms are best. They've been around for a long time, operate 'directly' over the Internet, and will run on any computer and operating system, via any type of modem.
We've set up an 'alternate' chat room on IRC's QuakeNet. Our room's registered 'channel' is, #Write2Publish. The Firefox browser's Chatzilla add-on is one easy way of accessing it.
QuakeNet also has its own web-page portal. Simply type in your own screen name ('nickname'), and below that our room's 'channel,' and you're in!

You can also get a free AOL account. Check out the details here:

Simply download AOL's software and set up your new account here. (Remember to select their 'free account' option, though you may have to present a credit card for 'age verification' purposes.)

Don't let those time zones fool you. (Think four is tough? We used to have one member in Wales, and another in Australia--beyond the International Date Line.)
