During the Pandemic 2020, SLAKE Membership also includes free PRESS Membership! PRESS is a writers’ productivity group that meets two or three times per week, usually from 7:00-9:00pm Pacific time, via Zoom or at the Wordsmith Writing Coaches office in Los Angeles just six blocks north of the University of Southern California. This group focuses on DOING the work, not critiquing the work, and focuses on QUANTITY, not quality. Although one writes as well as one can in a writing sprint, the key is to “get it all out on the page” without allowing your inner critic to nitpick through it.
You will set your own goals before the sprint, and then share your results with the group after the sprint. An experienced leader will help you find ways to overcome inward and outward obstacles to writing to maximize your productivity whenever you sit down to write, not just during a PRESS meeting.
To join PRESS for free, just register here for SLAKE. However, if you would like to support Wordsmith Writing Coaches during this difficult time, your paid PRESS subscription would be greatly appreciated!
