After some sunshine, an hour of creativity

Show up and channel your summer mood onto the page.

I know, I know, the weather is nice in the UK and this is not the most tempting Sunday to sit in front of a computer screen. Still though, I’ll be on Google Meet today for an In Writing Creative Hour and I hope a few of you will join me (those of you in other climates? Those of you who hate the heat? Those of you who have a deadline? Anyone?).

I’ll be online at 5pm UK time (timezone converter here).

The schedule:

5pm GMT: Click the link below to open Google Meet.

I’d love you to switch your camera on for the first few minutes while we settle in, and keep it on throughout the hour if you can bear it (it adds to the feeling that we’re all working side by side). As for microphones, we’ll follow a general rule of staying on mute, but unmuting when we want to speak. Please chime in during the chats at the beginning and end – I’d love to hear from you.

5.05-ish: Writing time. If you’re running late, you’re welcome to slip in whenever, but don’t be offended if we don’t say hello. As for what to write – it’s totally up to you. Pick up a project that you’ve been neglecting, start something new, or if you’re stuck for inspiration, do some journalling or write a letter.

5.55-ish: We’ll return to wrap up the hour and reflect on how it went.

6pm: Say goodbye, and feel pleased with yourself for the rest of the day.
