I have just signed up Summer. I am excited (and extremely nervous!) to undertake this journey. My word for 2024 is magical and I feel that this workshop is going to be a huge part of this transformation for me.

Hi Everyone! I’m thrilled/scared! I’ve been wanting to write for a long time and I get panicked when I start. I hope the discipline of writing daily helps me relax around writing… a love/scared relationship. Summer I found you on twitter and I look forward to meeting you! I’ve moved to Crete from the US, so we are neighbors!

Hi Summer-My husband, Don, is a subscriber to your Substack and has shown me your work, which I've always enjoyed reading. I'm an about-to-retire pediatrician (first day of retirement is 2/1) who is leaving a practice I've been with for more than 1/2 of my life (literally!). Retiring is both exciting and anxiety-provoking as I figure out how to meaningfully spend my time and forge an identity separate from the all-consuming one of practicing physician. Because I like writing, he showed me your "A Year of Writing Dangerously" project. I cannot think of a better way of processing the profound changes that come with retirement by writing a little every day. I'm grateful to have this opportunity to work and learn from you about writing.

Just to clarify, is there only one live zoom meeting per session?

Expand full comment

There is one live talk and Q & A per session, but I may add some live Zoom write-longs that people can join as time zone allows.

Wonderful. That sounds manageable for me. I'm signing up.

Fantastic!

I’ve been seriously tempted, but my spring is really booked so I could really take advantage of it. The good thing is I know/hope you will do more of these when I hopefully will have the time.

Hi Summer! I just signed up. Im SO EXCITED. I am looking forward to this helping me finish my memoir. I think these are the dates, correct? February 1st – March 15th, April 1st – May 15th, June 1st – July 15th, September 1st – October 15th, and November 1st – December 15th. Do you know the times so I can put it in my calendar and block these times off? <3

That's great Kelly! Yes, those are the dates. I'll send more info about times soon. The live Zoom element will likely be on Sundays at mid-day, East Coast time, so it's not too late in Europe and not too late on the West Coast.

Hi Summer! Are these the dates for the posts or the Zoom meetings? I thought the class times were on Sundays (2/1, 3/15, etc) but just went to put them in my calendar and they’re all different dates!

Hi Kelly, those are the dates of the sessions. Will send out info about this soon!

Hello Summer, I am excited about this, I would like to enroll, I just have a little question - I will be away on a family holiday on 1st Feb (we will be bush-walking so no internet or computer) Can I catch up on the first live session when I arrive home? I will be back on 4th Feb. Let me know if I can be flexible and how I could tailor the course.

Kate :)

Hi Kate! At the moment I'm planning for the first live session to be a few weeks in, once we've got a little writing under our belts, so you won't miss it based on your (delightful sounding!) bush-walking trip. You can always start your daily writing practice in a small, portable journal, and then join the discussion once you get back. Any live sessions will be recorded, and will always be made available the next day and throughout the course of the year for anyone who needs to catch up! As for your writing, it's also fine to start a few days late.
