Join Freshwater Writing’s SUMMER FRIDAYS WRITING CLUB

REGISTRATION IS FULL.

Freshwater writing’s summer fridays writing club IS A group of writers WHO MEET weekly to share our writing journey & write together.

Feeling a little scattered as summer arrives, wondering how you’ll carve out time to write on a consistent basis? Wish you had a group of friends to keep you accountable, encourage your practice, and maybe even open up your work in unexpected ways?

Join us for the Summer Fridays Writing Club. We’ll meet on Friday mornings from 9:00-10:00am CST on Zoom. Each morning, we’ll begin by checking in with one another and sharing what we intend to work on that day. Then, Chelsea will provide a simple prompt—from a short piece of writing, perhaps, or an image or thought-provoking question. Next, with cameras on or off, we’ll write. Work on whatever is best for you: start a new poem, polish a short story, return to your memoir-in-progress, or simply journal. We’ll return at the end of the hour to discuss how our time went.

This is a low-stakes, come-as-you-are writing group. There’s no required sharing or feedback to provide (though we can make time to share work, as the group desires). Our goal is simply to spend our summer doing what brings us joy, together. Once you join, you’re all set—come as often as you can! And if you need to miss a week for a vacation or work meeting, it’s no problem—we’ll still be here when you get back. What’s more, writing alongside each other often has the miraculous impact of cross-pollination: finding our work growing and evolving thanks to our conversations and the work of one another. What will you create this summer?

The Summer Fridays Writing Club is designed to be fun, generative, and reliable. We hope you’ll join us!

Note: This group is for writers of all levels. While the Summer Fridays Writing Club is a great standalone writing group, it also makes an excellent companion to any other writing workshops, circles, or retreats you may be participating in this summer.
