Writing Table Week of Dec 19-23 💠

Published: Mon, 12/19/22

Good Morning ,

I hope you are well! I just spent a few days in the Big Apple with my family, and it was so fun. And I'm glad to be home now for a few days leading up to Christmas weekend.

This calendar year is winding down. The waiting of Advent will soon turn to Christmas. And writing projects have a way of continuing on, right?

With the New Year comes choices for you at the Writing Table. Maybe it is time for some personalized coaching for your project? Or maybe you just want to keep showing up to write each day? We have options for you:

1. Coaching + Writing Table (individual sessions to help you with planning and carrying out your writing and membership at the Writing Table)

2. Developmental Coaching + Writing Table (individual sessions of coaching for your writing habits and also reading and feedback on your current project, plus membership at the Writing Table)

3. Writing Table (keep building your habits of consistent writing for the year or by the month - your choice)

4. FreeWrite Fridays (keep coming to the Writing Table on Fridays for no cost - you are already signed up for this by getting this weekly email!)

5. For student discounts - see below.

If funding prevents you from coming to the Writing Table, please ask me about scholarships.

For these final two weeks of December, all of the Writing Table remains FREE. This week we look forward to welcoming you to the Writing Table Monday through Friday. NEW Zoom Link below!

The Story of How it Began

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

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.

Free-Write Fridays

Through 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!

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.

Looking for a Gift? 🎁

A Writing Table membership makes a perfect gift for a friend who writes. It might be just what YOU want for yourself. Please share this link with the person who keeps asking But what can I give to you?
