As you may know, this year I have expanded the Compendia Community offerings to include a series of regular online ‘writing group’ sessions. Writers of all kinds, and of all abilities, hang out together for an hour. We have a quick chat then get down to work. Cameras on (though like everything else we do during the hour it’s not compulsory), microphones off.
I work too, but the session is not about me. An hour to focus, or to brainstorm, or even to read if that’s what you want and need. A creative hour to use as you see fit, basically. There is no compulsion to share anything.
Last night we had our first April meeting.
As usual, once we’d started writing it was surprisingly easy to relax into it, and I know I for one got loads done.
Our next group will be a midweek session.
Wednesday 10th April — 7.30pm to 8.30pm
No need to sign up, I’ll send the link on the day. After that…
Sunday 14th April — 6pm to 7pm
Sunday 19th May — 8pm to 9pm
Sunday 9th June — 6pm to 7pm
Depending on how this week goes, I’ll also add some more mid-week sessions.
(All times are UK time)
To join in the regular sessions, you don’t need to sign up but you do need to be a paid subscriber to Compendia.
If you choose to subscribe, in addition to access to the writing group, you’ll get all my posts, past and future, which include essays, humour, fiction, behind-the-scenes publishing gossip, and much more. All for as little as 65p (around US$0.83) per week.
And if you already subscribe, thank you. Your contributions are literally what allows me to continue to write and publish here. There are lots of exciting things on the horizon, I promise!
