Thank you
, (a master of short prose, subscribe to her Substack!), , , and everyone else who wrote live with me today. 📇If you joined us, you wrote. If you’re watching the replay, you’re about to write. And that is what this is all about.
In today’s post-writing session, I talk about my Binder System for keeping your micro organized, and provide quick links to the different TOC (Table of Contents) templates plus my new binder and tab cover pages for all the different micro writing you might be doing with me (Micro Mondays, Live Writing Sessions, Writing Workshops: From the Junk Drawer). The TOC PDF template (below) is free to all subscribers.
When Are the Live Writing Sessions?
Free and paid subscribers receive notifications when I'm live on Substack. I also post upcoming sessions in the weekly Micro Monday post. If you see a scheduled reminder, click “I’m Interested” and you’ll be notified when I’m live.
The weekly live sessions are always free. Don't worry if you join late—even two minutes of focused writing is valuable. Trust the process and your timing. Remember, we always add titles last, so they can do some heavy lifting regardless of when you join.
How the 10-Minute Sessions Work
Quick and focused: Drop in at the start (top of the hour) and leave right after—just 10 minutes out of your day
I arrive 5 minutes early to welcome you and say hello; I stay 5 minutes after for questions and a brief craft talk
We start promptly at the top of the hour with a countdown timer on screen
Download the Live Writing Session Table of Contents template to help track your work (free for all subscribers).
Latecomers are always welcome—just start writing. The prompt will be on screen along with the countdown timer. Even if you show up with two minutes left, you will have something. Trust your timing and make those two minutes count.
Today’s prompt begins at 4:10
Today’s post-session talk begins at 16:18
