Hi, friends,

Today is WITD’s last silent Write-In of 2024. We have loved writing with you in all the ways this year—here on Substack, in WITD: THE SCHOOL, The Feeling of What Happens, and, of course, these Write-Ins, which are so simple yet also so powerful.

It’s something about showing up simultaneously for each other and ourselves for a protected, inspired hour of writing quietly.

If you’ve never done a Write-In, you might be surprised at how motivating and energizing it feels to be in a group quietly writing together. You can feel the collective creative current right through the screen.

There’s intensity!

But what there’s not is pressure. The writing need not be brilliant, it just needs to happen. You can rewrite, revise, improve later. Remember, you can’t make anything good till you give yourself something to start with.

Or, you can use the intense, focused energy of the Write-In to revise something challenging.

There are no rules—just put fingers to keys or pen to paper and go. It’s astonishing what we can accomplish in sixty minutes.

Zoom link is below; log on sometime after 12:45 Central and 1 and you’ll be in the waiting room with

Billie Oh
’s fabulous playlist until we open the doors at 1. We can’t wait to see you.

Love,

Jeannine + Billie
