Online Co-writing Sessions!
Finding the time and space to write.
Are you struggling to find the time to write, or finding it difficult to carve out dedicated writing time? Then you’re in the right place!
Co-writing is a simple but powerful way to feel supported while staying accountable to your writing goals and building a regular writing routine.
These online co-writing sessions will take place at the same time every two weeks, giving you a regular, reliable opportunity to come along and write - whenever life allows.
Why co-writing works.
There’s something surprisingly motivating - and productive! - about writing alongside other people. When you know you have 50 minutes set aside purely for writing, it’s amazing how much you can get done.
And the shared sense of purpose helps you focus and build momentum, as well as avoid distractions and stay with your work.
