In all the teaching I've done, nothing has been more effective for more writers than the kind of gentle accountability that comes from a regular schedule of shared, quiet writing time. Join me and my co-host @saraharonson.bsky.social to make a commitment to your writing in ‘25!

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

For the rest of 2024, @christebbetts.bsky.social and I are organizing writing sprints. Show up. Get it done. Find community. Brainstorm. For me, this time of year does not always lead to productivity. But this year, these sprints are helping me get it done. And that feels great. #kidlit

Trying out a new thing here. Sarah Aronson and I have been teaching together for several years, and the one thing we’ve found that MOST helps writers with productivity has been the kind of soft accountability that comes from shared writing time with others – – a.k.a. writing sprints on zoom
