I'm new here--and happy to be here--and definitely interested in a Writer's Hour. Your LWS info and materials has me going on that as well. Love the idea.
Your hourglass idea was splendid. I'm a long-time Pomodoro believer but have strayed from the path and may just jump-start myself with an hourglass for awareness' sake.
I have used Jitsi for meetups with other writing groups--it's free--but I am not sure the limitations on number of participants. We met for 90-120 minutes so it's definitely in the 'hour' class with no problem.
Lovely to have you here Cynthia. We did a writing hour at the end of June and we used Google Meet, which seemed to work fine. Hope to see you at the next one!
The timer thing really helps me as well! I use the forest app and more often than not I end up going overtime. But this short time-container helps me push past fear of failure, it’s like “you can do 30minutes of not failing, after that you’re allowed to fail again” 😂
Thanks everyone for the enthusiastic response to this! Great to hear that there's interest in a writing hour... watch this space.
So needed this post! Going to order an hour
glass so I don't immediately pick my phone
up after pomodoro and scroll social media.
Would love to join a writers hour too

Hi yes very interested in a writing hour!

That's exactly it. I don't know the Forest app – I'm going to have a look now.
Oh it looks so good! Love the idea that you're contributing to real forests as well as a virtual one.
Have loved your podcast for a while and now very happy to have this newsletter. A big yes to the writer's hour!
Thank you Hannah, that's so kind!
A writers hour would be really great and love the idea of a timer!
Yes, I’d join a writers hour.
A writing hour is a fantastic idea!
I'd certainly be up for a writing hour!
I’d love a writers hour. I used to do the london one too but now 8-9 is tricky as need to get the kids off to school.
I'd join a writing zoom for sure.
Would definitely be up for writing together
I'd be game! I use Google Meet (free account) and it doesn't have the 40 minute limit like Zoom does.
Oh good to know! Thanks
