Want to start or deepen a daily writing practice in November?
Throughout the month of November, AWA will be offering WriteNow sessions, which borrow their structure from the popular Pajama Writing sessions of AWA Affiliate Sue Reynolds.
How it works
Every day Monday through Friday in November, across multiple time zones, you can drop in and write with us for an hour on Zoom. The time is yours to devote to your own projects. We hope the connection with a community of fellow writers inspires you to show up and make consistent progress.
Once registered for your time-zone(s)-of-choice, you simply join the Zoom invite you were sent via email. After very quick greetings, everyone is muted but asked to keep cameras on. We then work on our own writing projects for the next 55 minutes. In the last five minutes, if you like, you can share in the Chat a maximum of 50 words of what you were working on, give strength-based feedback or emojis to the work of others, and perhaps receive some feedback yourself. And that’s it!
Even though the day has barely begun (or is underway, if you chose a later-in-the-day time), you’ve already typed or handwritten a whole bunch of new words. You’ve “shown up” to your writing practice. And maybe you can do the same again, tomorrow!
Who are the hosts & when are they hosting?
AWA Affiliates have volunteered to help hold this creative space for us. These are trained writing workshop facilitators who have their own businesses, with different offerings to support you as a writer throughout the year.
