Who’s writing today? Are you drafting new pages, revising a scene, outlining beats, or doing character work? Drop your specific goal in the comments. Declaring it out loud creates accountability and makes it far more likely you’ll follow through. Every goal counts — one page, one scene, or one problem solved is still progress. When you’re done, come back and update us on what you completed. Seeing others show up fuels momentum for everyone in the community. Who’s in? 👇

Before the week ends, take a moment to recognize the work you did do. Share one line of dialogue from your project that you LOVE. It can be funny, raw, awkward, poetic, unfinished — it just has to feel true to your voice. Dialogue carries character, tone, and emotion. When you notice the lines that resonate with you, you start to understand what makes your writing uniquely yours. That awareness is powerful — and it’s something worth celebrating. Drop your line in the comments and, if you want, add a sentence about why it works or what it reveals about the character. Want to sharpen your dialogue, scene flow, and character arcs?

If rewriting feels exhausting or overwhelming, it doesn’t mean the scene is broken — it usually means you’re trying to fix too much at once. Instead of tearing the whole thing apart, try changing one element and see what unlocks: • Stakes: What happens if your character fails right now? • POV: Would this moment be stronger from a different perspective? • Tone: What if the scene leaned more tense, quieter, darker, or lighter? • Intention: What does your character want in this scene — and how clearly is that driving their actions? • Goal: What specific outcome are they pushing toward before the scene ends? Small, intentional shifts often create big breakthroughs. You may find that the scene doesn’t need a rewrite — it just needs a clearer engine. Pick one scene you’ve been avoiding and experiment with one change today. No pressure to perfect it — just explore. Want targeted help instead of guessing? Ask S.E.A GPT (in the classroom) how to strengthen the exact scene or moment you’re rewriting and get a clear, focused direction forward.

Choose a 30–60 minute writing window and treat it like a non-negotiable appointment. No multitasking. Just sit down and let the pages exist. Midweek is where momentum is usually won or lost. Showing up today — even briefly — keeps your story alive in your mind and makes it easier to return tomorrow. Set a timer. Focus on one scene, one beat, or one problem you need to solve. When the time is up, stop. That’s it. You showed up. Comment “done” when you finish your writing window — page count optional but encouraged. Want this kind of focus built into your routine? Join the Silent Writing Sessions to create consistency, accountability, and real progress.
