    SUNSET WRITING SPRINTS with Jenn Sommersby

    This series is a special FBCW Membership Perk! To become a member of the organization, follow this link

    Put the workday behind you and settle in for a calm hour of you and your imaginary friends. Dinner can wait; feed your soul first. 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. Write, edit, revise, whatever floats your boat, camper. Mics off, cameras optional, no talky … just words on the page.

    -Jenn

    We do not include prompts in this series of sprints, but you are welcome and encouraged to share your favourites in the chat.

    NOTE: This is a series of ongoing sessions, there will not be reminder emails about the individual sessions.
