Writers' Room Workshop with AJZ (Feb 2021) - GROUP 1 : Planning? by Cindie Hurley

I'm up for either Zoom or chatting on here .. or a bit of both.

I'm based in the UK .. so 10am PST is 6pm here .. and 15:30pst in 11.30pm...

So if it's Zoom then some time between those times would probably be ideal!!

Do we have any information on what we're expected to pitch on Saturday?

I'm really into spy stuff at the moment .. so I'd be quite up for pitching something along those lines. I recently ready an autobiography about a girl who found out on her 18th birthday her day was a Spy for MI5 .. and then got recruited to the service (her dad was the person John LeCarre based his character George Smiley on)

I thought that could be quite a cool kick off for a show .. a teenager discovers their dad is a spy?

Hi Jack! That's cool - I'm near your time zone (Berlin) and also totally into conspiracy, spy and thriller plots.Your story sounds very similar to Alex Rider, the Amazon Series.

@ all: I'm up for Zoom or chat (but would prefer zoom).

Ok, so we have folks from US Pacific & Eastern, GMT, and CET -

My usual avail is the evenings, but I tried to find a couple of hours during the day this week.

I set-up a poll on DOODLE: http://bit.ly/3qnrFf8 - I did the entry in EST, but I believe it will show local options to everyone. (?)

You should be able to click as many options as will work for you - AND if you double click it means you can make that time, but it's not the best or most convenient.

Hopefully one of the options will work for everyone.

If not, we can figure out other options (and if that means meeting without me because I can't break away, we can figure that out too - )

If the time zones don't calculate locally & automatically:

12pm ET = 9am PT, 5pm UK, 6pm Berlin

1pm ET = 10am PT, 6pm UK, 7pm Berlin

11am ET = 8am PT, 4pm UK, 5pm Berlin

8am ET = 5am PT, 1pm UK, 2pm Berlin

9am ET = 6am PT, 2pm UK, 3pm Berlin

10am ET = 7am PT, 3pm UK, 4pm Berlin

3pm ET = 12pm PT, 8pm UK, 9pm Berlin

4pm ET = 1pm PT, 9pm UK, 10pm Berlin

5pm ET = 3pm PT, 11pm UK, Midnight Berlin

(Ok, time zone doesn't change automatically, but you can click the "All Times Displayed" to change to your time zone)

Amazing - thanks so much!! :)

Done

Wow Cindie, that’s amazing! Done and thank you :)

d'oh! We're six people and I missed US Central time -

Sorry just logging into this lounge! I answered the poll. Looks like Friday is the winner. :)

Hi Cindie, thanks for organizing. Friday at 3 p.m. ET works great!

Great - see you then!! :)

Shall we make that a regular time slot for the next 3 weeks?

That way we know in advance when it is and can keep it free?

That works for me!

I think I can make that work weekly - great idea.

Hi, Cindie, thanks for putting this together! I've already been brainstorming. 3 pm EST works great for me, too. Let us know!

Also works for me, I can have a wine while you're still with coffee :)

Will you send us a zoom link Cindie Hurley ?

I saw Jack's post in the other thread so I think he's got one for us...

Full couple of days here, and I'm really looking forward to seeing everybody on zoom tomorrow!

Jack Silver would you mind sharing that link? Looking forward to chatting with you all tomorrow!

Do we have a link already? Jack Silver Cindie Hurley ? :)

Hi, yes, can we please get a link? Looking forward to sharing ideas with you all! Thanks.

Hi all, I'm sure Jack will drop a link before we meet... I don't want to add confusion to the mix by adding a different link, especially since I may not be able to make this time weekly.

(I am able to provide a zoom link for a group if we find we need one when we hit 3:00 p.m. Eastern.)

See you soon!

My email: evafinn@cox.net - thanks to all - it was great today! Excited for tomorrow!

kathdist@gmail.com see you all tomorrow!
