At 10am today (that’s UK time), I’ll be on Google Meet ready for the third In Writing Creative Hour. If you haven’t joined one before, the idea is that we get together, have a chat, and then write together in companionable silence for the best part of an hour. It gets Sunday off to a good start, creatively, and it’s also a chance to remind ourselves that we’re a community of writers, and that we find many of the same delights and challenges in our work.
I also just love the chance to meet you and get to know you.
The schedule
10am London time: 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 up. Please feel free to chime in during the chats at the beginning and end – I’d love to hear about what you’re doing.
10.05am-ish: Writing time. If you’re running late, you’re welcome to slip in whenever. 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/morning pages or write a letter.
10.55am-ish: We’ll return to wrap up the hour and reflect on how it went.
11am: Head off to enjoy your Sunday in the knowledge that you’ve already achieved something. If you feel like it, share a snippet of what you’ve written in the comments for this post.
