Part of: Stir It Up Shut Up & Write! Online - Since 2019 - NEW DAY! Now Every Monday!
When: August 31, 2026, 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM
Location: Online
Get the support you need every week to get your writing project done. Online events take place via video conferencing sessions where members come together to make progress. No critiques, read-alouds, or distractions: just an hour of focused writing. We start with a meet and greet, usually focused on some aspect of craft based on member works in progress. We write for an hour in silence, which amplifies focus. We reconvene at the end of that to share a simple strategy for metacognitive learning about process that helps create a structure of conscious intention going forward: what worked? what went off track? what you you like to change going forward to help structure your success? =============== Agenda in U.S. Pacific Time: 8:30 - Join the meeting.

It stirs up memories. It stirs up values. It stirs up assumptions, clichés and stereotypes. It make us question perspective. It gives us a medium to help the world question all these things as well.
