Do you have a writing project that you need to get done by the end of the year? Would you like to enjoy the Christmas holidays without the weight of it hanging over your head?
Me too!!!
There are just 11 weeks to go until Christmas! …Are you up for the challenge?
Let’s get our writing done together!
I have just kicked off a new round of my popular ‘Get Your Writing Done!’ sessions. These are daily moderated writing retreats, dedicated to helping you to carve out focused time to work on your key writing projects and get them done!
Dozens of scientists and researchers from around the world have already signed up. We will be working together every weekday until 17th December to progress (or better still, finish) our writing before the Christmas break.
Here’s how it works…
Every day we meet in our private Skype group at set times. There are three moderated sessions a day – ensuring that wherever you are in the world, there will be a session to suit your time zone. You can join as many sessions as you like! You don’t have to join a session every day, but the more often you join, the more progress you will make!
At the start of each session, there is an opportunity to greet and check-in with your fellow participants, then the moderator asks everyone to post their goal for the next 50 minutes in the chat-box (for example, how many words you want to write, or which section you want to finish). At this point, everyone mutes their microphone (and ideally turns off all distractions, like phone and emails) and begins 50 minutes of focused work.
When the hour is up, the moderator announces the break and everyone has a chance to reflect on and post their progress so far. This is also a great time to have a chat about any challenges that came up for you and hear advice from the moderator or other participants.
We do this cycle one more time, then at the end of the session, the moderator will play some upbeat music to celebrate the end of a successful writing session. (If you’re the first person to meet your goal, you get to choose the song!)
It’s a really fun, supportive community, where you can find solidarity and support to prioritise your writing goals, and the accountability to stay on track. Participants like it so much that, between official sessions, they often set up unmoderated writing calls to carry on working together – like an online writer’s cafe! It’s so motivating to look at Skype and to see other people working on-screen alongside you.

Here’s a schedule of all the moderated writing sessions:
What’s more, as an early Christmas present, I have decided to gift everyone who signs up for this round of writing sessions FREE access to my popular ‘Start writing and get it done!’ writing course!
The course includes 11 video tutorials providing clear and doable actions to help you to start and swiftly progress your writing project.
Normally, access to this course would cost you £295! Yet, by signing up for the writing sessions you can access both this course AND the writing sessions for just £40!!! This really is like Christmas come early!
As if that weren’t enough, this round of writing sessions also has another special feature! It also includes a gifting option – meaning that if you have a friend, family member, colleague or student who you think would benefit from the support and accountability offered by this programme, you can gift them 11 weeks’ of membership to our writing group! (And of course, complimentary access to the ‘Start writing and get it done!’ writing course too!)
I love moderating these writing sessions. I love seeing the close-knit community that swells up in every group. And I love seeing how much progress participants make by carving out focused, accountable, supportive daily timeslots to write.
Like Brian, who said:
“After one week of ‘Get Your Writing Done!’ sessions, I successfully revised my entire manuscript & sent it to my co-authors, after years of delays!”
Wooohooo!!! Would you like to experience success like this? Then join me and let’s work together between now and Christmas and get our writing DONE!
So excited to take on this challenge with you!!
Here is that sign up link for you again: tinyurl.com/writingautumn2021.
Looking forward to seeing you in the new group soon!
Happy accomplishing!
