Okay #acwrit I have a new writing trick I wanted to share: #WEXTING

I love social writing (sitting in same room and writing in silence with others) but I find it IMPOSSIBLE to schedule this. So #wexting was born.

Here is how it works:

1/ Choose a #wexting partner. I recommend someone who is trying to devote a similar amount of time to writing and it helps if you like them A LOT bc writing is hard enough. Shout out to my current #wexting pal, @lizaweinstein!

2/ Each day set up a time (or times!) to complete writing #units together. Liza and I like 45 min #units and our first one is at 5:30am before our families wake up which for the record is NOT a time I get up unless I know Liza is waiting.

3/ At appointed time we text "ready?" and then "go!" Then for 45 mins we put our heads down and write. No email. No social media. No potty breaks. No snacks.

4/ After the 45 min #unit we check in via text abt how things went and send silly emojis and GIFs.

5/ It is social writing you can do anywhere.
