WritingDay! is a new online service for writersHere's the idea — get your writing on track from the comfort of your homeA WritingDay! with fellow writer Holley Rubinsky, a dedicated writing coach and mentor, is the answer to your personal commitment problem.
I promise to spend my day keeping track of your intention. What? Yes, I will stand by between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. (or six hours that work for you) on your WritingDay! to receive your writing as you progress, comment when needed, talk to you on the phone. I will even allow you half an hour off for lunch. What? Yes! I will help you rewrite that story that's been rejected, get you started on something new and difficult, talk with you about your project, answer your questions about character development and writing a great scene. You do it, we review it together. What’s it worth? The fee, preparation included, for the day we mutually decide to work together on your writing is USD/CAD $110. How do you get started? Send an email to introduce yourself. Tell me a bit about your writing experience and where you think you are with it. Attach a few pages of your project. I will respond. We go from there. And? When I cash your check (cheque, if you're Canadian) I will talk with you to help you create the intention for your writing day. When the date of your chosen WritingDay! arrives, you will be ready to get your work done, and I will be by your side. And what do you do to prepare for WritingDay!? Before your WritingDay! you arrange the care for your husband/wife/children/mother/auntie. On the day, you unplug your landline phones or otherwise make them unobtrusive; turn off your mobile/cell phone; close your email program (until the designated time to open it and attach your work in an email to me), then get writing. Sincerely, Holley Rubinsky The fee includes my reading up to 30 pages double-spaced of your work before your WritingDay! And yes, the fee for now is very reasonable. Email the site to a writer friend. Open to fiction, non-fiction, all types of creative non-fiction, including memoir and tributes.
