You are not writing enough and I know this because neither am I. It’s practically the definition of a writer that we don’t get on with it. But we need to, whether that’s because we’ve got deadlines or because writing is part of our very being.

The 58keys Writing Sprint is four sessions on consecutive Monday evenings, lasting two hours each. By far the most important thing is one hour in the middle in which you are just going to sit right there and write – and so am I. So is everyone. A solid sixty minutes of writing.

Now, I got this idea from young writers’ workshops I run where the best bit is a period where we simply write what we want. Maybe it’s something new, maybe it’s something we’re already working on.
But since those times always came at the end of a workshop, there was also the option for these young writers to just carry on writing something they started in an exercise.

I want you and me to have this same protected, important hour, but I also want you to have that benefit of an exercise that can get you started.

So roughly half an hour at the start will be me telling you about a specific writing topic I’m obsessed with – dialogue, character, plotting, everything really – and it will include at least one short exercise.

Then roughly half an hour at the end of the session will be for us all to just talk. Also to slap oursleves on the back for having got an hour’s writing done.

I hope you’ll join me. I hope you and I will both get a lot out of this. I think it’s going to be special.
