Writing always gets pushed to the bottom of the list—until you carve out time and protect it. It’s the thing we say we’ll do tomorrow, next week, when things quiet down. But they rarely do. So we’re making space on purpose.
Join us at Apt 5 in the Lower East Side for two hours of uninterrupted writing time—to open that dusty Google Doc, return to the poem in your Notes app, or finally get a few new pages down. Bring your laptop, your notebook, or whatever helps you write. We’ll have writing prompts across genres if you want a little nudge, plus cocktails, mocktails, and light snacks to keep you cozy.
Afterward, stick around to meet other writers and share what you’re working on (only if you want to!) for feedback, inspiration, or just some solidarity. At the very least, you did write.
Time to write is hard to find. Let’s stop waiting for the perfect moment—and just start.
Apt 5 is a cocktail bar in the Lower East Side of Manhattan styled after a chic loft. Grab one of their drinks, a bite, and get settled in their library or lofted dining era for the event.
