Definitely complete your prep first, Elycia Lee ☮! I like the idea of having the room for when we are done writing for the day or want to ask about ideas and plans and problems. If you want to leave it open to work while others are working and you are all just ignoring each other, I can't attend. I've tried to do that before and totally end up talking the whole time.

Based on past experiences, I'm guessing it won't be really full and will likely be empty or nearly empty most of the time as a lot of folks either won't have the time or won't want to mess with the technology. But for when there are people there, I think it's a great idea! I'd love to be able to chat with you more.
