Co-Writing & Office Hours
with Sara
90 minutes, once a week for focus, accountability, and support
You know those things you need to write for your business that keep getting put off?
The projects like your website updates, the book you dream about, the course you want to launch next season …
Or the ongoing things like your newsletter or blog or LinkedIn posts you want to be consistent with …
Co-Writing & Office Hours with Sara is a weekly date on your calendar to do that work.
Having a regular time set aside — with a start and end point — helps you do the things you wouldn’t get to otherwise.
Plus you don’t have to do it alone!
I’m right there to help when you get stuck. A quick conversation stops your from staring at the blank page or spiraling and gets you back to work.
And accountability and being in community with others doing similar work makes it less lonely and adds accountability.
Here’s how it works:
- Come with content to work on — newsletter, LinkedIn or blog post, website updates, your book, your next course …
- I’ll guide us through getting grounded and ready to start.
- Everyone will identify what they are working on.
- We’ll get to work!
- Get support if you need it — if you are stuck or want feedback or a sounding board on what you’re working on, we’ll meet in a separate room to help you get unstuck.
- We’ll come back together to see how it went.
These are just some of the kinds of things I help people with in these sessions:
- Getting unstuck around sending a newsletter after a long time of being silent.
- Thinking through how to streamline the process of blog/newsletter/social
- Seeing how a personal experience was relevant to their business
- Finding the ideas that have energy in a big list of options
- Tightening a post for clarity and succinctness
- A fresh perspective when you’re too close to what you’re trying to do.
We meet Wednesdays, 1 – 2:30PM ET on Zoom.
Questions
Can I come late or leave early?
Yes. Putting aside the whole block of time is ideal, but some time to focus and get support is better than none!
If you come late, I’ll help you get settled and started. It’s okay to leave early if you need to.
What kinds of things can we ask for help with?
Anything related to your writing. Some ideas:
- Does this make sense? What’s missing or unclear?
- I need to make this shorter. What can I cut?
- I don’t know what to write for my next newsletter/post.
- Which of these ideas should I write about?
If you aren’t sure what your question is but you’re feeling stuck, check in with me. We can figure out where you are getting stuck together.
What kinds of things do people work on?
Your writing could be web copy, your newsletter, blog or social posts, an invitation, course content, your book … it’s intentionally broad.
It’s also a great time to do thinking or planning around your writing.
For the most part, people are working on writing for their business, and that’s what I’m most able to help with, but you can use the dedicated time and accountability to get anything done!
How do we focus on work if you are helping other people?
People will work quietly in a breakout room. I’m available in the main room any time you want to come in for support.
