Events

Join us in the voice chat for some fun games! 

The games can be online party games, MMOs, or anything else easy for people to take part in online. If someone has Jackbox available, you are welcome to run them! 

Free and available games online include: 

• Skribbl (Pictionary-style game)
• Gartic Phone (words and pictures!)

Got a game you want to play? Bring it along!

Join us to write wherever you are! To take part:

• Go to a writing spot near you (preferably outside your home)
• Share a picture of the place with us on Discord
• Write with us! (Or plan or edit; whatever works for you)

Come write with us! There will be sprints, chat, and maybe some prompts.

Hi Ipswich Word Fam! Due to skyrocketing prices and feeling much less supported as valued cafe patrons since new management took over, we are relocating!  We will now be meeting at Wild Rose Cottage in Eastern Heights. It's a lovely small business with good coffee, pretty treats, and light meals.

Join the Ipswich branch of the Word Family for Breakfast, conversation about what we're writing, and OF COURSE, writing time!

It's time to get crafty! Bring your art or craft project of choice, and make some progress with company. 

How it Works

This event is entirely online, so you don't need to move your project or equipment anywhere. You can do any kind of art or craft you like! (You can even write if you'd like.)

We'll start off with a bit of a chat about what we're all working on and our craft of choice. It would be great if you could share a photo of your project with us! Then we'll have some focus time to get some work done. 

If you want to join the voice channel, feel free to share a video stream of your crafty progress! Look out for people who have their mics and headphones muted, as they can't hear any chatter, but they might be sharing a view of their work with us or viewing others' streams. In Discord, you can view multiple streams at once. 

At the end of the event, it would be lovely to have another photo of your project, so we can have before-and-after views! 

*Pictures and videos are entirely voluntary; please only share what you're comfortable with.

Our monthly central catch-up!

For in-person meetup, come along to the Coffee Club at Milton (CCM). There's free parking available in the area and it's just up the road from the Milton train station. 

To find us inside, head down to the back of the restaurant and look for the forest of laptops. We'll have plenty of room for everyone, power available if you need to plug in, and lots of chance to chat and focus on writing! Bring headphones if you wish, to aid focus or simply get some quiet time. Whatever works for you is fine with us.

We'll be running some writing sprints through the day. 

If you can't make it in person, join in online on our Discord server!

Join us for a monthly check-in, to talk about what's happening with you and how you're going. Come and share with us!

Afterwards, we'll move on to do some writing sprints.
