LWS – ‘The Cabin’ – Friday, 19th April from 8pm

Picture
Last weekend’s London Writers’ Salon 24-hour writers’ sprint did me the world of good, as I have a deadline nearing (1st May). So much so, I could do with something similar this weekend so I’ve concocted a plan.

As part of the ‘LWS tiered membership’ writers have access to ‘The Cabin’ - a 24 hour a day Zoom writing room which is constantly ‘on mute’ where writers gather and work, in silence. I regularly drop by 'The Cabin' each day between attending LWS’s scheduled daily sessions (8am, 1pm, 4pm and 9pm UK time). Most writers will say ‘hi’ or ‘bye’ via the chat text and then knuckle down to their work – there’s never any interruptions and as always, you can have your camera on or off. My camera will be 'on' throughout my sessions - I feel accountable that way!

My plan:
On Friday, 19th April from 8pm GMT, I’m going to embark on a personal mini-writers’ sprint. I’ll be writing in ‘The Cabin’ from 8 pm till midnight. Then after sleeping, I need my sleep, resuming at 6am on Saturday morning until at least midday. There is a regular LWS session at 9am on Saturdays so I’ll be disappearing from 'The Cabin' to attend the main session but will return to ‘The Cabin’ straight afterwards. I'm going to 'log' my progress for each hour in my diary and work as I see fit on Saturday afternoon.

If anyone wishes to join me, please do. Why not decide on your own specific goal/times/project/submission and join me! 

I’ll be sticking to the pattern we’re used to: top of the hour start, set an intention, work for fifty mins, quick break and repeat. You’re accountable only to you but it helps to focus when others are present. My intention is to work on my current project and plod, plod, plod. And drink copious amounts of tea!


I hope to see you and remember to type ‘hi’ in the chat box! ​

UPDATE: Friday 19th April - 8 o'clock till midnight - an editing session for me. I'm delighted to say I had the company of 12 other writers - all busy on their projects. It was so satisfying to know others were hard at work too. It makes such a difference to write/edit alongside others. 'Thank you' if you attended and I hope the words flowed for you. 

Saturday, 20th April - the local church clock just struck 6am ... let's make a start!
UPDATE: I worked until midday then took a few hours off before returning to my desk until 8pm.  I managed seventeen hours and edited a shed load of words. Thank you to those who joined me throughout the weekend - your company helped immensely.
