Due to a scheduling conflict, I have to change tomorrow’s (Jan. 28) writing hour to 1pm ET/ 12pm CT. Everything else remains the same! I’ve updated the Zoom invite, if that’s what you use to keep track on your calendar. I’ve also updated the schedule below. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Happy New Year, everyone! Have you already slacked off on all your lofty writing goals? ME TOO. No better time to resume the Cranky Guide Writing “Hour” than today then. Or tonight, to be more accurate.

This month’s writing hour is for the night owls, the I-wake-up-after-dinner crowd, the why-the-use-for-coke-when-I-am-me fortunates. I am not one of those! But I am currently enjoying Peruvian summer, which means my productive hours are now from 8am-1pm and then from 6pm-9pm. During that glaring gap, I am enjoying the beach. Don’t hate me because I figured out a way to avoid the North during winter; love me because I’m offering you a space to cozy up and be creative on Wednesdays at 8pm ET/7pm CT sharp.

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 use there’s no time like the present to upgrade :)

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

  • January 14

  • January 21

  • January 28: Scheduled for 1 pm ET/12 pm CT.

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!
