Hello lovely subscribers!
In autumn of 2022, we wrote together. It was lovely.
I have set up some Zoom sessions for us to write together again, but the space will be a little bit different this time. The Zoom space will open at 10:30 EST every Friday (starting next Friday), and close at noon.
Last time, we introduced ourselves and talked a bit about what we were working on. Sometimes there were prompts.
This time, the space is a kind of drop-in open work space. I will be writing and my camera will (mostly) be on. Whoever would like to drop in and write is more than welcome to do so, but we won’t be spending time on introductions or chatting. This will just be a space where you can work on your projects with others. You can pop in at any point, and leave at any point, but I ask that you commit to writing for at least twenty minutes. Still— that isn’t a requirement.
Each Friday I will also start an open thread. There, I’ll write about what I’m working on before I open the Zoom space. The open thread is a space where you can tell us what you’re working on and/or the experience of working on it. Where you feel stuck and where you feel liberated.
My hope is that the open thread can function as the introductions did, but also move beyond introductions into a space of community and support.
Writing is by nature a solo pursuit, and it can get lonely.
In order to join Writing Together, you need to register for each session separately.
The sessions are free for everyone. You can even invite people who aren’t subscribed (but please encourage them to subscribe!).

I’ll send out a reminder the night before and morning of our meeting. My hope is that this is a successful pursuit for everyone and that I can create one more space during the week as time goes on.
As always, share your thoughts in the comments!
I am so excited to see this!
