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

  Get your lizard brain out of bed, make the coffee, and meet Jenn in the Zoom room.

  What to expect:

  • We meet Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. (Yes, even stat holidays. Stories don't wait!)
  • 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 WIP.
  • 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.

  SEE YOU THERE!

  Join us for SUNSET SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Summer Edition!

  Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Dinner can wait; feed your soul first. Join me on Mondays and Fridays starting at 5:30 p.m. for an hour-long sprint. Great way to start and finish the week—and maintain your commitment to your writing practice.

  Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, camper. Mics off, cameras optional, no talky … just words on the page.

  What to expect:

  • We meet Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (Summer stat holidays included. I will also continue to run all my regular sprint sessions during WRITING INTENSIVE weeks, FYI.)
  • If you want to chat beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work. 
  • Note that these sessions do not have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.

  Hope to see you there!
