  NOON HOUR WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby

  Grab your wilted salad and tell your coworkers you are OUT OF OFFICE for one whole hour from noon to 1 pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then log into our Zoom room and join Jenn for a quiet hour of self-directed work on your creative projects. Becky in accounting can wait; you have a dragon to slay!

  Format:

  • Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:00 pm
  • Show up a couple minutes early for a quick hi/hello/how are you, then we get to work. Write, edit, research—ONE SOLID HOUR of time for you and your WIP.
  • Mics off, cameras optional.
  • These sessions do not have prompts, but you are welcome to share ideas in the chat.

  SEE YOU THERE!

  Register today to access all noon sessions with Jenn for April, May, and June. We will use the same zoom link for all of these sessions.
  NOTE: Because this is a series of ongoing sessions, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions. We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app.

  Join us for SUNSET SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Summer Edition!

  Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Dinner can wait; feed your soul first. Join me on Mondays and Fridays starting at 5:30 p.m. for an hour-long sprint. Great way to start and finish the week—and maintain your commitment to your writing practice.

  Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, camper. Mics off, cameras optional, no talky … just words on the page.

  What to expect:

  • We meet Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (Summer stat holidays included. I will also continue to run all my regular sprint sessions during WRITING INTENSIVE weeks, FYI.)
  • If you want to chat beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work. 
  • Note that these sessions do not have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.

  Hope to see you there!
