Thanks to 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.
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.
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 5-10 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

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.
