💥Join us for The Ass in Chair Collective – starting this Monday, March 3!💥

Steal some time out of your day for what you really want to be working on, and we will be there to validate your choices

Hi, friends. Remember

Erinn Batykefer

? And the Yoga + Writing fundraiser we did? Well, we’re teaming up again to try something new, and this is your official invite to join us!

Dorothy Parker said, “Writing is the art of applying the ass to the seat.”

🪑What is The Ass in Chair Collective? 🪑

Starting on March 3, we’re going to host a series of creative “Ass in Chair” meet-ups via Zoom. These will be short—one hour long—so you can squeeze them 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 concept is simple: we get together as creative people, say hello, and then each of us will work on our own thing. Together.

🪑Steal some time out of your day for what you really want to be working on, and all of us will be there to validate your choices on Zoom🪑

Sound awesome?

Here are the dates for March:

• Monday, March 3 @ 12 PM EST

• Wednesday, March 12 @ 9 AM EST

• Friday, March 21st @ 12 PM EST

• Tuesday, March 25th @ 3 PM EST

We’ll eventually settle on a regular time for these meetups, but for March we’re experimenting with a bunch of times to see who shows up for what. That’s where you come in: You gotta show up for the times you really like and could make happen in your week. SHOWING UP IS YOUR VOTE. (You can also email us to let us know, but showing up is more convincing 😉). Starting in April, the majority of these will be for paid subscribers, but we’ll still keep some open to anyone.

💥We’ll send out a post a few days before our scheduled time each week with an “Ass in Chair” reminder and the link to register for the Zoom. So, click below and get yourself on the list! 💥

Maybe you’re making progress on your own, but you’re craving community and accountability. Maybe you really want to dive into your project or crack open your journal or meditate or paint or sew, but the 1,357 things on your to do list are hounding you.

No guilt if you're balancing your checkbook or doing work emails during Ass in Chair Collective meet-ups. Maybe what you’re doing is practicing setting aside time with other creative people, cracking open a door for yourself to walk through later.

💥🪑Whatever it is, we’re here for it. Mark your calendars and join us! 🪑💥
