🗞️ Hot Off the Press

We’re giggling & kicking our feet to announce…
A 90-min weekly writing session for writers who aren’t writing 😅

One thing we’ve learned as creative entrepreneurs is writing is a ~non-negotiable~ part of the creative process, no matter what your thing is.

So… why is it so hard to get yourself to actually sit down to write?

Us thinking about writing instead of actually writing

That’s where Writing Club comes in 😎

Writing Club is a weekly, 90-minute writing session, designed to create accountability, community and support so you need to actually sit down and write.

📆 Every Monday at 9am PST / 12pm EST

💻 All sessions happen over Zoom, so you can call in from your office, coffee shop, or your bed! (We’re not here to judge)

⭐️ Perfect for digital creators, writers, artists, and entrepreneurs

💸 Only $10/month

Writing Club is perfect for ADHD creatives 🧠

Writing Club sessions combine 4 proven ADHD strategies:

🤝 Accountability — $10/month, live writing sessions, and a Slack community to make sure you show up

🌱 Community — Write alongside fellow overthinkers, perfectionists, and procrastinators

👯‍♀️ Body Doubling — Sessions are hosted live on Zoom for light social accountability

 Novelty — Get fresh prompts, memes, and use the cute-ass Miro board

No, seriously, look at this thing 👇

Writing Club is for:

🥲 Writers who aren’t writing

🪁 ADHD Creatives who need help getting started and following through

💻 Entrepreneurs who know that a writing practice does wonders for their business and personal brand

📝 Writers who have half-finished Substack drafts and novels in their Notes app

💾 Creators who miss the days of pouring their thoughts into their Tumblr and LiveJournal

❤️‍🩹 Girls with big feelings, a stack of unused notebooks, and a therapist telling her to journal more

If you keep daydreaming about that book, newsletter, or blog you want to start, Writing Club is the weekly boost you need.

The first session is Monday, Nov 25 — see you there?
