Thank you
, , , , Christopher from , and the 23+ writers 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 titles (hello Chen Chen!), brain training, and how writing helps us know who we are.
"Writing is what makes me feel better. Writing is what gets me to a place where I feel like I know who I am a little bit more."
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 we begin.
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.
“I believe in the power of not just writing and our words but the act of participating in our own creativity on a regular basis.”
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 or check-in
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 1:06
Today’s post-session talk begins at 11:50
