Write with me this Sunday morning

Here's your link to join the Creative Hour – and don't forget the clocks are going back.

Normally I send these early on a Sunday morning, but in my last email I failed to remind you (and myself) that the clocks are changing this weekend in the UK – so I’m giving you a bit of extra notice. We’re meeting for the In Writing Creative Hour at 10am tomorrow (Sunday), in terms of Greenwich Mean Time, regardless of what time it feels like in your brain.

I find the changing of the clocks completely confusing. Apparently this is the one where we get an extra hour in bed.

Please note, the next one will be on Sunday 13 November, and I’m going to do it at 5pm, to open it up to any subscribers in the USA or Canada (or anywhere else) who want to join. Like everything else In Writing-related, it’s an experiment and we’ll see how it goes.

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 feel free to chime in during the chats at the beginning and end – I’d love to hear from you.

10.05am-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/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.
