Are you an aspiring novelist ready to abandon the flaming disaster that was 2020 and start the new year with a burst of creativity? If so, this monthlong productivity and support group for novelists is for you! Throughout January, you’ll be asked to commit to a daily writing goal while receiving support from your fellow attendees and facilitator. Weekly meetings will help everyone connect and commiserate over Zoom while additional communications will continue throughout the month via a Slack channel. Meet and connect with other aspiring novelists, receive tips from the facilitator, and get motivated to make progress on that novel.
