AUGUST 2024!

Once upon a time, you sat down at your kitchen table, you pulled out your notebook, and you wrote.

Your script filled one page, then the next. And you kept going.

That dream project that you’ve been poking at for the past 3 years?

(The full draft of your novel, your poem cycle, that dissertation chapter, that fairy-tale retelling.)

When you open your computer at the end of the month, it’s done. It’s done.

You did it, and that thing that’s been bubbling up inside you is tangible and on the page.

It’s real, and you are a CHAMPION

Sometimes, to make your dream come true, you don't need a fairy godmother.

You need the magical combination of inspiration, accountability, and other writers by your side, daring to make those dreams real.

(Plus TWO fairy godmothers...
and the chance to win $1000 in Carterhaugh credit!!)

Welcome to...

We begin August 1st, 2024!

What is this exactly?

Are you sick of not actually writing?

Done with not completing your project?

Do you know in your bones you have something to say, but you just need a little support to get those words on the page?

You can write with purpose, consistency, and a sense of joy. With sparkle. 

Let’s write, together. 

Welcome to the Carterhaugh Writers Society, a community created to reignite your creative practice and get you to the finish line of that glorious project that’s been haunting you for way too long.

The Carterhaugh Writers Society will provide the structure and tools you need to finally scream “IT’S DONE!” We’ll help you carve out the space you need, offer real-time strategies for getting unstuck, and build massive momentum through accountability and community.

Are you ready to DO. THE. THING?

Let’s crush this. 

That’s right: we’re writing with you.

Not only are we your fearless(ish) professors for this writing journey - between August 1st and 30th, we’re revising the first draft of our upcoming book. And, as we write alongside you, we’re taking you behind the scenes to show you exactly how we’re doing it.

FAQ:

• You seriously want me to come sit on Zoom with you while we silently write? How is this going to help me?
  
  Yes. We completely, dead seriously want you to come sit on Zoom with us and write with us. We swear, if you actually show up, you will be STUNNED by what you can do. Also, “silent Zoom” kind of conceals what a community experience this is. We always say hi at the beginning, ask everyone to set an intention, and generally check in with people before we get started, and we sign off in the same way at the end, too. Also, the last time we ran CWS, the chat during each writing session was an incredibly valuable resource. People answered each other’s questions, celebrated wins, and commiserated on rough writing days. We weren’t expecting that, and it was one of the most joyful surprises of CWS!
  
  
• "What if I'm ready to get some words on the page, but I don't have an active project at the moment?"
  
  If you’re ready to spend dedicated time writing, then you’re very welcome! We’re also providing an audio guide to help you set an intention for our time together. What goal do you want to achieve? Why? What is reasonable (and exciting!) for you to do in one month?
  
  
• "Will I need to have something that's been outlined or at least roughed out in my head before we start?"
  
  Nope! You will probably make more progress if you do, but that doesn’t matter if your goal is simply to spend time writing instead of finishing a project.
  
  

• "Will this be focused on novel-length fiction work, or can it be used to help with other kinds of writing projects?"
  
  You absolutely do not have to write novel-length fiction. We’ll be writing non-fiction ourselves! Any kind of writing, from a full manuscript to a daily journaling practice to just being present with your writing, is very welcome.
  
• "What if I don’t want to speed write? Can I still join?"
  
  Yes! This isn’t NaNoWriMo, and our goal is not to hit a particular word count - it’s to commit to a dedicated writing practice. We’re more interested in creating space and time to write than focusing on speed.
  
  
• "How long do the Zoom co-writing sessions last?"
  
  One hour. Sometimes longer, if we’re in the zone!
  
  
• "I live in New Zealand/ California/ Europe, and the co-writing times are midnight/ 3am/ Other Times That Do Not Work For Me. What are my options?"
  
  We wish we could wave our magic wands and make all time zones align for our co-writing, but, alas, that is beyond our power. Our dedicated writing times are going to vary a little more this month due to some prior commitments on our end, but generally they'll be 12PM ET on Mondays/ Wednesdays/ Fridays and 7PM ET on Tuesdays. We recommend using a time zone calculator to check time differences. The Beast tier will also have access to spontaneous writing sessions at additional times.
  
  
• "Will the Weekly Witching Hours be recorded?"
  
  Yes. The witching hours (for live support, spotlight opportunities, Q&As, and more!) are usually on Thursdays at 7PM ET, and they will be recorded. If the time does not work for you, we encourage you to send in your questions early, and we can answer them for you in real time. Then you can catch the recordings at a more reasonable hour for you.
  
  
• "What if I'm still on the fence?"
  
  If you want to see what we’re all about before signing up AND get a TON of inspiration and practical advice for actually having a regular writing practice, we recommend you take a listen to our free podcast series Write Like a Witch by clicking right here!
