As we move into the holiday season, I wanted to take a moment to reset our intentions together here in the W.R.I.T.E. Society.
This time of year can feel complicated for writers. There's the pull of family obligations, end-of-year reflections, and often that familiar pressure to either "finish strong" or give up until January.
But what if we approached it differently this year?
Here's what I'm thinking:
The holidays don't have to mean abandoning your writing—but they also don't have to mean pushing through exhaustion and/or frustration. Your writing practice can be flexible, seasonal, and still meaningful.
➤ Maybe you write less but more intentionally.
➤ Maybe you use this time to read, reflect, and refill the creative well.
➤ Maybe you keep showing up to our co-writing sessions because that quiet, focused hour is your sanctuary in the chaos.
What's happening through the holidays:
- Co-writing sessions continue until 17th December, then resume 7th January
- W.R.I.T.E. Society Salon member group calls are on 2nd and 16th December, resuming 6th January
- This community space remains open for questions, support, and connection
- We're honouring rest and presence elsewhere during the break
No judgment for whatever pace feels right for you. Whether you're writing daily or taking a complete break, you're still part of this community.
So here's my question for you:
What does your writing need from you during this season? And how can this community support that?
Drop your thoughts below or DM me. Let's navigate the holidays together—with intention, not pressure. 💛
