New Coaching and Writing Table Options in 2023 Â Starting in March 2020, I began offering an occasional,
sometimes weekly, Writing Table for students, ministers, and professors. Lots of people needed to write during those early days of the pandemic, and yet everything was so
exhausting and distracting. Despite being sheltered at home, we needed accountability and support to get our writing done. The Writing Table helped me complete my book Pastoral
Imagination and now 2 ½ years later many other authors have completed books and many other projects including: - Books and book chapters*
- Sermons*
- Blogs*
- Business articles
- Poetry
- Academic journal articles*
- Dissertations
- Presentations*
- Proposals*
- Reports*
    *I have started, continued, and completed writing in all these genres myself.  All the mutual support, and building the sturdy and lasting habits of writing, have been offered through Three Minute Ministry Mentor (3MMM) at no charge. Can you imagine that? It
has all been free.  Why did I do that? Well, honestly it helped me. And we were living through multiple pandemics! So the Writing Table became a practical and concrete way I could support friends, colleagues, and students. And eventually even dozens of people I didn’t know. People who became new friends.  Most weeks (2021-22) I gave between three and five hours of my time to host a Zoom space for the Writing Table. I offer brief and simple coaching around building a writing habit and helping writers inspire each other with strategies for writing. It has been a joy. And now it is also time for me to convert some of this energy into support for Three Minute
Ministry Mentor.  At 3MMM we give away so much of what we do. It’s our delight and joy to support ministers and pastors, professors and
authors, poets and priests. And now we hope that you might share that same spirit of generosity with us. Â Free-Write FridaysThrough the end of 2022, the Writing Table remains free and open. We just ask for your name and email, so you can receive the weekly link. Going into 2023, the Writing Table will not be fully open access as it is now. However, some of the Writing Table days will remain free! Â Every Friday all are welcome at the Writing Table for no charge whatsoever. Give it a try, keep your habit going, invite a friend, or simply enjoy the support and
energy of other writers.  If you want to join the Writing Table other days of the week, and we surely hope you do, you’ll be able to do so
for less than a dollar a day starting in January. New pricing and options for how to join the Writing Table are coming in November. Some of the options include receiving one-on-one coaching for your writing project. New pricing begins in January of 2023.  The Writing Table remains free (3 to 4 days a week) through December of 2022. Everyone who signs up for the Writing Table now (or is already signed up – thank you!) will have an opportunity for discounted subscription rates. Student rates will always be discounted.  More details coming soon!
 Keep Building Your Writing Habits As we continue building good writing habits around the Writing Table, we will spend a few minutes when we gather breathing and setting intentions. Then we will write for a pom.** Then we take a break (3 minutes usually) of resting and moving away from our writing and screens. Then we will write for another pom. You are invited to share your best strategies for a final few minutes as we continue building a practice. Hope to see you one morning or
more this week!Â
Warmly, Dr. Eileen
