"Hey there folks-- late post, but if you're a paying subscriber, this is a quick reminder for tomorrow's ASS IN CHAIR meetup & December's series. If you want to join us, subscribe today! "

Hi friends! This is your ONE monthly post with all the December details & links! Let’s get into it…

Erinn and I have been thrilled to welcome so many new members to the Ass in Chair Collective. Do you realize the amount of epiphanies, encouragement, jokes, high fives, deep breaths, dissolving blocks, paint on the canvas, and words on the damn page we’ve produced together? It’s bonkers how much more we can do together and how good it feels to share our wins or frustrations in the chat after a session, rather than, you know, weeping alone into our laptops.

If you’d like to join us every week and finish your creative year strong, make sure you subscribe below👇🏼

Be Where You Are + Ass in Chair Collective is TOTALLY worth $5/month or less for a year!

Subscribe to The Long Pause 🤘

If you upgrade to paid, you can click ONE link to register for the weekly sessions through December past the paywall IN THIS BIG FALL POST…aaand you’ll automatically have access to our Yoga & Writing Workshop: Let That Shit Go, plus *monthly* writing workshops coming down the pike starting in December!💥

If a friend sent this to you and you’re wondering what this is…(if not, keep scrolling!) The Ass in Chair Collective is a chill, supportive virtual creative meet-up via Zoom to help us get our asses into our chairs and make time for our creative work. We meet weekly on Mondays at 12 pm EST for an hour, so you can squeeze it into a coffee break or a lunch during the week, or, you know, hide in your bathroom with your laptop while small humans are yelling for you. The Ass in Chair Collective is run by Erinn Batykefer at The Long Pause and me, and it’s a vibrant, unpretentious community of creative humans who are cheering each other on in our creative lives.

❄️ And, mark your calendar for our Winter Solstice celebration during the FREE session on December 15th, where we’ll toast to our fall creative work & have some fun prizes and giveaways! ❄️ That’s the next time anyone can join us to experience the magic of Ass in Chair! We encourage you to harass your creative friends to join you— just send them to this link where they can get on the list…👇🏼

🎉 Register FREE December session 🎉

SEE YOU ON MONDAY!

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.
