A Summer of Writing
Write with me all summer long!
🌝 SUMMER WRITING NIGHTS
Is your summer calendar already popping off? Mine too! I’ve found that the best way to carve out writing time during the busy parts of life is to treat it like an appointment. That’s why I started Summer Writing Nights.
Join me on Zoom every Wednesday this summer starting June 26, 7:30-9:30 EST, for Summer Writing Nights. 13 evenings of co-writing and accountability.
In this space, you can work on anything you want! Revise your novel. Draft your essay collection. Write in your journal. Brainstorm new poems and short stories. Get your newsletter off the ground.
$30 for the whole summer. $10 off for paid newsletter subscribers: discount code at the bottom of this email!
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is not a traditional class or workshop in that there is no instruction. Here’s what we’ll do every Wednesday this summer.
7:30-7:40PM EST: 10-minute check-in. We share what we’ll be working on during that evening’s writing time.
7:40-9:20PM EST: 100 blissful, bountiful minutes of camera-off, self-directed writing time.
9:20-9:30PM EST: Wrap up with an optional 10-minute writing progress report.
SIGN UP
Cost: $30 for the whole summer. $10 off for paid newsletter subscribers: discount code at the bottom of this email!
Lock in a summer of weekly writing time by signing up today.
If you already signed up (🎉), you’ll receive the Zoom link a few days prior to our first meeting on June 26.
🎶 SUMMER WRITING PLAYLIST
Here’s an instrumental playlist as we ease into a summer of writing.
📚 SUMMER BOOK CLUB MEETING
Book Club for Writers will meet again on Sunday, July 28 at 1PM EST to discuss Jami Attenberg’s 1000 Words: A Writer’s Guide to Staying Creative, Focused, and Productive All Year Round.
Jami Attenberg is an author and founder of 1000 Words of Summer, an annual writing challenge that encourages participants to write a thousand words a day for two consecutive weeks. I’ve participated in the challenge many times and love the community Jami cultivates: in fact, it’s been an enormous inspiration behind Lonely Victories! I’m looking forward to discussing her new book with you all.
Book Club for Writers meets quarterly on Zoom and is open to paid subscribers of this newsletter. Learn more here and become a member by clicking below to upgrade your subscription.
