The other day, Elissa Bassist posted on FB asking if anyone wanted to commit to writing during the same hour she was going to be shutting off the internet and stringing words together. I said I was busy cleaning the rotting food smell out of my house, post-Irene, but why not start a FB page where others could make similar writing pacts at any given time, or even just state specific writing intentions and be accountable to the community at large? Elissa then launched this awesome Write Like a Motherf*cker FB page (named for the advice she was given by the esteemed Dear Sugar), and it’s been great - sort of like a virtual writers’ group. You don’t need to officially join - just “like” the page, and check in as needed. I’ve used it once already, for just one hour, and plan to check in there again tomorrow.
Check it out. Go from f*cking off to writing like a motherf*cker.
