Join me on Substack for weekly-ish live 10-minute guided writing sessions. The live session is free; the recording and archives are for paid subscribers.
All subscribers receive a notification in Substack when I go live. I sign on 5 minutes before and stay 5 minutes after for questions and little boosts of encouragement and/or mini craft talks, but you are welcome to drop in anytime. Even if you join with 2 minutes left on the timer, you will get some writing done. This is all about trusting the process, and trusting yourself as a writer.
Past writing sessions are here.
