&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join us for SUNRISE SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;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 &lt;strong&gt;daily writing sprints/body-doubling sessions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;where we gather and rearrange letters into pleasing formations with our fellow creatives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em;"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We meet Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you want to chat beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Write, edit, research—this is nearly &lt;strong&gt;two solid hours&lt;/strong&gt; of time for you and your work-in-progress.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Mics off, cameras optional, fur children always welcome.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;that t&lt;/span&gt;hese sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have some of your own, feel free to share ideas in the chat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;~ Jenn&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use &lt;strong&gt;the same Zoom link every day for the entire session duration&lt;/strong&gt;, 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!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (18 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://bcwriters.ca/resources/Pictures/event-6809671.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Take on your writing goals with some dedicated writing time in the FBCW Zoom room. We'll start with a few minutes of greetings and then we get to work. Write, edit, research—this is nearly two solid hours of writing time, just for you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mics off, cameras optional. See you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link each week. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is a series of ongoing sessions, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions. &lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;If this time doesn't work for you, visit our Sprints page to see our other offerings:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://bcwriters.ca/page-18349" target="_blank" style=""&gt;https://www.bcwriters.ca/page-18349&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em style=""&gt;Questions about the FBCW and your membership can be always be directed to &lt;a href="mailto:hello@bcwriters.ca" target="_blank"&gt;hello@bcwriters.ca&lt;/a&gt;. Alli will be busy writing on Sundays but is happy to assist you when she puts her work hat back on Monday morning.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (21 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://bcwriters.ca/resources/Pictures/event-6809671.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOON-HOUR WRITING SPRINTS with the FBCW Team offered Monday through Friday!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Grab your wilted salad and tell your coworkers you are OUT OF OFFICE for one whole hour from noon to 1 pm, weekdays from August 31st until December 18th. Log into our Zoom room and join us for a quiet hour of self-directed work on your creative projects. Becky in accounting can wait; you have a dragon to slay!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Format:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Monday through Friday at 12:00 pm PT&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Show up a couple minutes early for a quick hi/hello/how are you, then we get to work. Write, edit, research—ONE SOLID HOUR of time for you and your WIP.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Mics off, cameras optional.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;These sessions do not have prompts, but you are welcome to share ideas in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SEE YOU THERE!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*These sessions will not be recorded.*&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all noon sessions until December 18th. &lt;strong&gt;We will use the same Zoom link each week.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (25 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://bcwriters.ca/resources/Pictures/event-6809671.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (28 Sep 2026)</title>

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (2 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://bcwriters.ca/resources/Pictures/event-6809671.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (5 Oct 2026)</title>

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If this time doesn't work for you, check out our other offerings on our &lt;a href="https://www.bcwriters.ca/page-18349" target="_blank"&gt;Sprints page&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If this time doesn't work for you, check out our other offerings on our &lt;a href="https://www.bcwriters.ca/page-18349" target="_blank"&gt;Sprints page&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026.

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;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 &lt;strong&gt;daily writing sprints/body-doubling sessions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;where we gather and rearrange letters into pleasing formations with our fellow creatives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em;"&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you want to chat beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Write, edit, research—this is nearly &lt;strong&gt;two solid hours&lt;/strong&gt; of time for you and your work-in-progress.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Mics off, cameras optional, fur children always welcome.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (6 Nov 2026)</title>

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (9 Nov 2026)</title>

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;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!

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (13 Nov 2026)</title>

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026.

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;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 &lt;strong&gt;daily writing sprints/body-doubling sessions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;where we gather and rearrange letters into pleasing formations with our fellow creatives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em;"&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you want to chat beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Write, edit, research—this is nearly &lt;strong&gt;two solid hours&lt;/strong&gt; of time for you and your work-in-progress.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Mics off, cameras optional, fur children always welcome.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Grab your wilted salad and tell your coworkers you are OUT OF OFFICE for one whole hour from noon to 1 pm, weekdays from August 31st until December 18th. Log into our Zoom room and join us for a quiet hour of self-directed work on your creative projects. Becky in accounting can wait; you have a dragon to slay!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Format:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Monday through Friday at 12:00 pm PT&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Show up a couple minutes early for a quick hi/hello/how are you, then we get to work. Write, edit, research—ONE SOLID HOUR of time for you and your WIP.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Mics off, cameras optional.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;These sessions do not have prompts, but you are welcome to share ideas in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SEE YOU THERE!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;" color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*These sessions will not be recorded.*&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all noon sessions until December 18th. &lt;strong&gt;We will use the same Zoom link each week.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is a series of ongoing sessions, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (11 Dec 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://bcwriters.ca/resources/Pictures/event-6809671.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (14 Dec 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://bcwriters.ca/resources/Pictures/event-6809671.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join us for SUNRISE SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;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 &lt;strong&gt;daily writing sprints/body-doubling sessions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;where we gather and rearrange letters into pleasing formations with our fellow creatives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div style="margin-left: 2em;"&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We meet Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;If you want to chat beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Write, edit, research—this is nearly &lt;strong&gt;two solid hours&lt;/strong&gt; of time for you and your work-in-progress.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Mics off, cameras optional, fur children always welcome.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;that t&lt;/span&gt;hese sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have some of your own, feel free to share ideas in the chat.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sunset Writing Sprints with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition (18 Dec 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://bcwriters.ca/resources/Pictures/event-6809671.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby: Autumn Edition!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Grab and snack and feed your writing soul first, &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;the day's fatigue settles in and coaxes you to settle in with the Netflix and tune out&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, fellow wanderer. Mics off and cameras optional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What to expect:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;We meet &lt;strong&gt;Monday and Friday afternoons from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;If you want to chat with your new BFFs beforehand, log in up to ten minutes early. At the top of the hour, we get to work.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt; that these sessions &lt;strong&gt;do not&lt;/strong&gt; have prompts, but if you have "spark plugs" to share with your fellow writers, feel free to do so in the chat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;~ Jenn&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Register today to access all the sessions. We will use the same Zoom link for the session duration. Sign up any time during the series, and each week, you can come and go during the work time to suit your schedule.&amp;nbsp;This series runs on Mondays and Fridays from Friday September 4th until Friday, December 18, 2026. I am taking a holiday recharge break before we take on our 2027 writing goals in the Zoom room!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: Because this is an ongoing series, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;We suggest saving the Zoom link in a calendar event, a Word Document, or the Notes app&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
