Hey!
I’m so excited that we’re starting the writing part of the BYOB Challenge today.
BYOB, in case you’re new, is the Blog-Your-Own-Book Challenge. In July we did a lot of planning for our projects. In August? We’re writing those 31 blog posts. In September we’ll put all that text together into a book and in October we’ll talk about publishing.
Pretty cool, right?
So, here’s what’s happening in August.
We’re hosting DAILY Write-In Saloons, starting tonight at 6 p.m. EST. A Write-In Saloon is a Zoom call we open for two hours. Everyone comes to hang out and write, quietly. Most of us keep our cameras off, everyone keeps their audio off. You can talk in chat, but not out loud! There will be a mentor there if you need some help or guidance. This is a powerful accountability tool.
You can come every Monday night to the 8 p.m. EST Blogging Co-Working call, where I’ll give you feedback and answer all of your questions. I expect these calls to be VERY heavy on the BYOB this month. So, come get some feedback on your project.
There will be a share threads here and on Facebook where you can post your daily BYOB post.
We’re testing out a program called the Midnight Write, which is a Write-In Saloon that runs from midnight to 2 a.m. EST for the night owls, four nights a week in August.
We’ve started another new program to help club members get acclimated. This was especially important to us with BYOB going on. When you join the club, you’ll be assigned a Cohort Mentor who will prepare a personalized Ninja Writers Roadmap just for you. They’ll help you figure out which programs will best get you to your goals. And you’ll be invited to meet twice a month with your Cohort in a small group goals coaching session.
With the exception of the share threads, all of these cool things are available only to Ninja Writer Club members. SO—we’re offering you a free month of the club for August if you’re not already a member.
Disclaimer: I don’t mind, at all, if you take your free month, use it for all it’s worth, and then leave if you decide it’s not for you. There’s nothing that’s left out for folks on their free month, including all the calls and the Cohort program. BUT, be warned that this is the most amazing writers group on the planet. You’re probably never going to want to leave.

Love,
