November Rambo Academy for Wayward Writer Events
November’s a lighter month than most, because I’m taking a two week vacation for my birthday. I’ve tried to make sure everything continues as normal for the most part during that time, which is November 2 through the 15th. Zoom links will be posted on Patreon and Discord; events are open to Patreon supporters, subscribers, and other denizens of the Chez Rambo Discord server. All times are Pacific.
