Spring/Summer 2025 Weekly Writing Meetups (May 1 - July 24, 2025)

Morning pages? More like boring pages.

Confession: even though I’ve published three books, I still struggle with maintaining a regular writing practice—unless I’m cowering under a deadline, caffeine overdose, or mental picture of Asian beetles invading my office unless I hit 500 words.

The only time writing didn’t feel like a chore was when I attended a now-defunct library writing circle. We’d meet weekly, rain or shine, drawing prompts from an old coffee can for an hour. The mix of supportive camaraderie (read: voluntary hostage situation) and creative prompts struck the perfect balance of structure and freedom.

Every season, I recreate that vibe online with a series of weekly writing meetups. Join me on Thursday mornings (May 1 - July 24, 2025) for 90 minutes of creative drills and free-writing sessions that focus on generative writing and skill building—all with a self-compassionate approach.

Ready to breathe new life into your creative work? Sign up now and let’s do it together!

Schedule:

• Weekly sessions are held Thursday mornings, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM Eastern
• May 1 - July 24 (NO session the week of July 3 for Canada Day and US Independence Day) = 12 sessions total
• NEW: Every third session will be a "shut-up and write" session. Instead of prompts, we will start with a brief warmup followed by 60 minutes of silent writing on whatever topic/project each person chooses, with a brief halfway break. Afterwards, participants are invited share what they are working on and how it went.
