Live Zoom Call | Today 1-2pm (UK time) | My Book Writing Adventure

The first full moon support group meeting in my experimental, self-directed, gentle book coaching programme.

I’m so looking forward to meeting you this afternoon to talk about our book or longer writing projects. During workshops, we are so busy writing, there isn’t much time to delve into all the things that go on around the writing. So this afternoon’s meeting will give space for all of that.

In our book writing support group (timed to coincide with the full moon) this afternoon, we will:

• introduce ourselves and our book projects

• talk about anything you’ve done in response to the first My Book Writing Adventure newsletter

• explore how else we can make room for creativity and what may be holding us back

• set gentle intentions for the rest of the lunar month.

I anticipate this will mostly be discussion, but we might do a little journalling together as well.

This live group is for paid subscribers to my Substack newsletter (Awen). If you are not a paid subscriber, you can click this button to upgrade (£8 per month or £80 per year).

If you are a paid subscriber, please scroll down for the Zoom link for today’s session.

Future dates for the full moon support group on Zoom

I have varied the times and days to coincide with the full moon and to suit different people. If you would really like to join in but would particularly like another time or day, do let me know by replying to this email. For instance, there are no evenings scheduled at the moment as I am at the local climbing centre for most of them each week, but I could rearrange if needed!

All UK times.

About My Book Writing Adventure

My Book Writing Adventure is a series of gentle experiments (by me - Mel Parks) with invitations for you to join in, if you would like to. It is for people working on a book or longer writing project within a full enough life.

The project is based on three pillars—Practice, Wellbeing & Magic—acknowledging the writer in a holistic way. And I will structure them in 3-month segments, mirroring the writing process:

Part 1: Review and Gather (October to December 2024)

Part 2: Define, Outline & Begin (January to March 2025)

Part 3: Write First Draft (April to June 2025)

Part 4: Revise & Edit (July to September 2025)

Part 5: Send Your Book Out Into The World (October to December 2025)

The monthly newsletters (published each new moon) are free and the monthly support group (live on Zoom around the full moon) is for paid subscribers.

Click here for a full programme outline. It is a guide to what to expect but it might change along the way and I will add links to relevant posts as I go. I have already written about some of the topics, so I’ll add links to those as well. While the content is available free, the curated index list is for paid subscribers.
