You're Invited to a Minimalist Writing Retreat

Free! November 17, 830 am-830 pm, get all of the things done before the holidays start

Hi friends,

If you’re already doing AcWriMo with me, you know about this and can ignore this email (or forward it to friends). Otherwise, read on!

I’m not here to do violence on this beautiful Friday morning, but there are only 51 days left of 2023! So many goals, so little time!

If you want to make some progress on a writing project before the end of the year, I’d love for you to join our all-day writing retreat next Friday from 830 am to 830 pm. It’s on Zoom, it’s free, and you’re very welcome to join for as much or little time as your schedule allows.

You can register here, and feel free to invite other people who might want to join as well. Once you sign up, I’ll send you the Zoom link and schedule.

I call it a minimalist writing retreat because there are no real bells or whistles: we show up, we set goals, we write, we check in, and we do it some more.

I’ve done a version of this the last few years on the Friday before American Thanksgiving, and it’s a fantastic way to get focused work done before holiday travel and school vacations and final grading begin to take up time and energy. (My husband and I just audited our calendar, and we don’t have a free weekend until January 19, 2024).

Last year people mentioned that it would be fun to have time to chat and get to know each other during the retreat as well, so I’ve built in time at the beginning and the end of the day to talk about writing, and I’ve also scheduled an optional mid-day breakout session where you can talk with me about writing or any other questions that you have.

Have a wonderful weekend, and happy writing!

Kelly
