Let's write this morning!

Your link to the Creative Hour at 10am UK time

Looking forward to seeing some of you at 10am today – note the unusual morning slot – for a writing session. Here’s the timezone converter in case helpful.

I’ll be doing edits to the index of my book, which actually, I find more interesting than it sounds. It makes me happy to know that readers will be able to pick it up when they need specific inspiration on punctuation, writing around family life, procrastination, sex scenes, routine, originality or any number of other topics – and get straight into it.

The schedule:

10am 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.

10.05-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.

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

11am: Say goodbye, and feel pleased with yourself for the rest of the day.
