Grab your pens, journals, laptops—whatever your preferred writing tools are—and let’s get ready to write some healing words this month!
Pen & Mend's virtual writing room returns in August, offering a dedicated space to focus on your writing alongside a supportive community.
August’s virtual writing room will be open for an hour on Friday,
August 16th, at 9 am PT/noon ET.
Reminder, our virtual writing room opens to Pen & Mend members at least once a month. For August, September, and October, we will meet on Fridays at 9 am PT/noon ET. The specific dates can be found below.
Let this be an easy “yes” so that you can nurture your writing practice. By joining fellow writers in this space, you’ll find accountability and inspiration to continue writing and healing!
Maybe for you, this hour looks like writing for…
Personal processing (try a prompt from the Pen & Mend archives, bring your Rest or Rise journal, or journal however you need)
Playful crafting (what sounds fun to write? let your creative juices flow and imagination be free to play!)
Purposeful publishing (craft words to share with a reader, bring a book proposal, a rough draft, or other project you’re working on)
What to expect
Our virtual writing room functions more like a library or quiet study than a noisy coffee shop, so you can focus on your words and write without distraction.
We’ll keep our mics muted, but please share your video so we can see each other's lovely faces!
Come ready with whatever materials and snacks you want to make it a life-giving + productive writing session for you.
I'll play some quiet thinking music if you're interested in listening to music while you write.
You're welcome to use the chat to share and connect with other members if you'd like.
I’ll start and close the session by reading some inspiring writerly words.
You won’t be asked to share what you write.
Feel free to pop in and out of the writing room as needed.
Hope you can make it!
Just use the invite link below when it’s time to join the room.
