Good Morning, -

Welcome to a new week of joining friends at the Writing Table! Why did I say STOP? I'm simply following this week's advice from Robert Boice. See more below.

Thank you for joining the Writing Table in 2023! This is your February 19-23 email.

Please find the February zoom link below. If you want to extend your subscription beyond this month, you can do so in the 3MMM Shop.

Remember that #FreeWrite Fridays have a separate link (also below).  

Thinking of inviting a friend to the Writing Table? Please share this #FreeWrite Friday information link. Your friend can try writing with us -- any Friday this year. No cost!

This week's advice for writers from Robert Boice is Rule No. 4: "Stop, before diminishing returns set in." This rule helps explain why we use the pomodoro technique at the Writing Table. Our sessions are brief, and we stop two different times in the hour. Because when we push past that time frame, our brain's ability to focus and function at top capacity starts to flag.

By stopping to reset our intention and focus, we actually focus better and probably write more. We can also use the STOP rule to keep us out of rabbit holes, or we can choose separate tasks for each pom. Boice discovered in 30 years of research with academic writers stopping is as important and starting to sustain a solid and sustainable writing habit. We follow this advice at the Writing Table. 

I look forward to seeing you this week! 

Warmly,
Eileen
