Do you have a hard time sticking to a writing schedule? Join us for protected writing time twice a week.
The Writing Collective is about cultivating individual practice and progress using the time-tested creative tools of inspiration, accountability, and community.
Each of our Writing Collective sessions will:
Open with a brief reading to settle in.
Offer a prompt to guide your writing, productivity advice, and/or creative inspiration.
Hold 50 minutes of quiet time to write together.
Close with a prompt to ease your way back to the work next time.
Include a shared tracking spreadsheet for logging your progress (optional).
Accountability: Attend 20 out of 24 sessions to receive free access to the first three chapters of our online course Write Your Novel (normally $199). These 3 chapters are designed for writers of all genres, not just novelists.
Guest writers will occasionally sub in to offer fresh perspectives.
Think of the Writing Collective as creative church: Your only responsibility is show up, listen, and stay in your seat.
“I struggle to prioritize my writing, but when I commit to a time and place to show up with other writers, I do it! Even better, two hours a week of no-fail writing time leads to more writing because I have some momentum going. It might seem silly to write with others over Zoom, but it has gotten me farther and deeper into a work of fiction than I’ve ever been able to achieve on my own. And if some weeks I only write for two hours, well, that is two hours I wouldn’t have written otherwise.”
“The bits of writing advice you give us at the beginning of a session always land perfectly for me. And I like when you ask someone how it’s going at the end. Every time I hear people who are writers talk about writing, I feel renewed in my own desire to get what I think down on paper.”
