November Nurturing: Daily Accountability and Weekly Writes
Are you on a mission to write more? Trying to make headway on a larger project? Need some help? Us, too!
Let’s hold each other accountable.
What you’ll get:
DAILY ACCOUNTABILITY – Every weekday morning in November, we’ll hop on Zoom together. Annmarie and Brandi will post a motivational quote and a short piece to inspire words to flow. We’ll spend a few brief moments telling each other what we’re about to write, and then we’ll get to work. Any project. Any genre. We’ll hold time for the writing.
Only one rule: stay in the chair.
If you wish, stick around and debrief for the final few minutes. Let us know how the work went. If you’re in flow, log off to keep writing and we’ll see you the next day.
WEEKLY WRITES – We’ll gather every Monday evening in November for generative writing sessions. Brandi and Annmarie will guide you through prompts designed to energize and move your work forward. We’ll have time for writing together and sharing in pairs and small groups.
SALON – During our last class, we’ll meet in-person for a literary salon (faraway friends can still Zoom in). We’ll gather as the community of writers we’ve become to share an excerpt of our work to the full group and celebrate how far we’ve come.
