SUMMER 2026:
Early Morning Focus, June Mondays, 5 Week Series
Dates: Mondays, June 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
(class full) Class 1: 6-7:00 am EST, *optional half hour "work chat" (7-7:30 am EST)
(class full) Class 2: 9-10:00 am EST, *optional half hour "work chat" (10-10:30 am EST)

Basic structure for Early Morning Focus: I will open class and offer an optional prompt to get your ink flowing. We will start writing by 5 minutes after the hour. I will set a timer for 25 minutes. At 25 minutes, I will cue to see if you need a break. After 5 minute break, I set a timer for a second 25 minute work session. The work session is over at exactly one hour. *Optional half hour "work chat": an open floor to share, ask a craft question, or just listen.
Early Morning Focus is a supported early morning work period to focus on your writing. You can use the structured, self directed time to free write or type up freewrites, tend to a project, dig into a new project, or daydream. Join us for a supportive environment to harness the potency of the early morning.
Early Morning Focus structure is meant to require no speaking from you until the end so you can stay in the quiet of your interior world.
