Happy Friday! This is our LAST Ass in Chair for spring! Sign up now, and look out for our Summer Slate next week! Can't wait to see you there! -

Hi, friends! Whether you’re new to Be Where You Are or you've been here since the beginning, thank you for reading & for your support. It means more than I can say. ✨✨


This Monday, June 30th is our next Ass in Chair Collective meet-up. Come join our stalwart weekly group that has become a beloved weird-in-a-good-way creative family. Summer’s the perfect time to throw caution to the wind and say why not, right?

Last Monday was awesome as usual. Folks were revising stories, doing research, proofing manuscripts, drafting book proposals, writing thank you notes, drafting poems, and working on 100 Day Challenges. And we did it together.

Erinn shared an inspiration about a carnivorous plant in her home, and how it bloomed these gorgeous flowers in order to lure bugs to their doom. She encouraged us to consider noticing “the hideous beautiful things” in our pockets of the world. She asked us: “What are the weird little pockets of wonder in your life?”

This Monday, we’ll write and revise and cheer each other on and laugh and share what we’re proud of. We’ll help each other show up, put our gorgeous asses in our chairs, and get into it.

Join us!

You can find all the details and links to sign up for the Spring slate of meetups HERE in this post.

Once you register, I’ll send you an email about an hour before the meet-up with the link, so you don’t have to dig for it in your inbox.

Stay tuned this week for the Summer Slate of dates/links! If you have a summer project you need to move to a front burner, now is a great time to subscribe so you can get a weekly dose of creative inspiration and support.

I like to say the quiet part loud. Making space to talk about being creative, being stuck, and what to do about it. Creativity isn't science, it's magic.
