September morning writing zoom for people who could use mild accountability
|
Hi! I have a Zoom room that opens at 7am CT, weekdays, between now and the equinox (Sept 23 — maybe longer, depending on my energy). I am using this to finally get my medieval war novel down on the page, and have successfully drafted the first chapter so far! (Messily, illegibly......) I am calling this experiment in time-pressure COUNTER-GLOAMING, and it's for getting our manuscripts written. [[ZOOM LINK]](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86211694880?pwd=atEeeTincNWkilbU4wQinSYVU4WEdV.1) — link doesn't change. Why Counter-Gloaming? Gloaming is dusk — the hour where I am likely to think up what I want to write in the morning. Counter-Gloaming is the other end of that: the hour I write the thoughts down. How it works:
Come once, come every day, come when you can. I'll be there most mornings and if I'm not, the room still will be. Write anyway! Share with a friend who's got a project in the drawer. See you at 7am CT. xoxox, |

ASTRO-ARCHETYPE OF THE WEEK // THE FREE SKATE August 30 - September 5, 2026 Item [1]: How Skating Acquired and Lost Its "Figure" article Until 1990, competitive figure skating required something called compulsory figures: hours spent tracing prescribed patterns into the ice before a skater was ever allowed to perform. Judges checked the tracings afterward, on foot, for wobble. After these requirements were released, skating was called "free." But the free skate had restraints. It's four...
ASTRO-ARCHETYPE OF THE WEEK // THE ICONOCLAST August 23 - 29, 2026 Item [1]: Anon, Christ before Pilate c.1400–25© The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge During the English Reformation, churches dealt with their painted saints one of two ways. Some were attacked directly — this panel has knife marks scratched deliberately across its surface, turning an ordinary devotional image into evidence. Others were handled more gently: churches limewashed over their wall paintings instead of destroying them....
