Ethnographer's+Report+for+May1st

===As the group came together for the first day, you could see those that were eager to share and those that were holding back until absolutely necessary. Each person came to this meeting expecting something different--a phone call, guidance, support, rejuvenation, and others didn't know exactly what they would find but knew it would be great.=== ===The day went on and people began opening up and talking more. Today was probably the quietest this group will ever be again sitting around in the break room quietly eating. However, Mollie's demonstration provided a quick opportunity for everyone to mix and mingle.=== ===The Writing Project is a lot to take in, and many people were feeling quite overwhelmed. The demonstration, the contract, the books, the writing ... the list goes on and on. It all sounded like too much, but there were others that know straight where they wanted to go.=== ===The mix is a dynamic one. There are those I see lurking in the shadows just waiting to shine, but they need to test the waters before they jump in. Don't worry--in the Writing Project there's always someone there to help you out if you feel yourself beginning to sink.===
