How are we doing? Did anyone get any writing done this past month? Are we burying ourselves in work? Writing manifestos? Yelling at the wind? However you prefer to express yourself, that’s what the Cranky Guide Writing “Hour” is for!

I’m moving the write-in back to Mondays so we can start the week kicking ass. Since I’m still in summer mode—aka, I spend my afternoons at the beach, making it impossible to get home before 6pm—we are powering through the 8pm ET/7pm CT hour. It’s actually felt surprisingly easy to focus at that time. Maybe because I’m fully rested after tanning in the sun. Don’t hate me!!!!!!

The Cranky Guide Writing “Hour” is a 40-minute virtual write-in/co-working space for paid subscribers. You can hop on at any time within those 40 minutes. I do a little check-in for the first 5 minutes and then we debrief for the last 5, but for a whole 30 minutes we simply focus on whatever we need to do. It’s a perk for paid subscribers. If you want to join us, there’s no time like the present to upgrade :)

The February Cranky Guide Writing “Hour” is on Mondays at 8:00 pm ET/7 pm CT. The dates are:

The zoom link is at the bottom of this post for easy access. There’s no need to register and I archived the previous RSVP form for the time being. If you need the reminder, make sure to add it to your calendar!
