No trend-seeking clutter or overwhelming marketing BS--just expert advice & ideas to help you stay focused on what's most important for your author brand, career, & life.

Hi friends,

Last month, I participated in a few online art and writing co-working sessions and it sparked an idea. In the entrepreneurial world, co-working events are common, but not so much in the writing realm. If you're not familiar with this idea, it's a dedicated hour (or two) where people who want to work undisturbed but alongside other humans, gather together.

I'm usually a pretty independent worker, but these kinds of events are great because they provide a dedicated time on my calendar to work on whatever project I might be...ahem...avoiding. ;) There's also an accountability/time-bound goal in place: e.g. "I'm going to work on my task for this hour." To be honest, there's something really lovely about stating your goal amongst peers, knowing you're all working away, and then checking in again at the end.

So I started something up for you:

Join me tomorrow (Friday) for Calm Content Co-Working Hour!

Come work on your marketing content, email newsletter, marketing plans, podcast editing, or whatever, among fellow writers.

12pm to 1:15pm (Pacific) on Zoom

Register here free! And feel free to share!
