Join us for SUNRISE SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!

Now that the beach balls and flip-flops are stowed for another year, it's time to refocus and get our brains (and buns) back in the writing chair! Join us for daily writing sprints/body-doubling sessions where we gather and rearrange letters into pleasing formations with our fellow creatives.

What to expect:

We meet Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.
If you want to chat beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.
Write, edit, research—this is nearly two solid hours of time for you and your work-in-progress.
Mics off, cameras optional, fur children always welcome.
Note that these sessions do not have prompts, but if you have some of your own, feel free to share ideas in the chat.

Hope to see you there!

~ Jenn

Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link every day for the entire session duration, which runs Monday, August 31, through Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!

NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions. We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app.

If mornings don't align with your schedule, check out our other group writing opportunities on our Sprints page.
