Fairy Ring

Fairy Ring: a series of immersive writing circles

Part the First: 21 June — 4 July 2024
Part the Second: 5 July — 3 August 2024

Nourish and be nourished! Every day* for a moon cycle and a half, we will share, via email, the fruits of our writing / process notes / love letters with each other. Ask for the type of feedback you’re looking for or simply be withnessed in your practice.

Open to a limited number of people who can commit to participating for the entire period. Please consider your intentions for being part of this type of collaborative experiment / what you might like to work on / what forage or fodder you could gather / if there’s anything you’d like to ask from — or offer to — your fellow fairies to make this process more fruitful.

The Fairy Ring series is full; please click the button below to request information about the next writing circle.

How will the Fairy Ring actually work?

You do your writing / creating / collaging / letter writing, however you usually do that.

I will set up a Google Group for all participants.

Every day*, before you go to bed, you commit to sharing something (see first paragraph above for ideas!) with the group by emailing it to the group’s email address. You can control whether you receive what everyone else shares as soon as they send it, or as a daily digest.

If you are moved to reply to what someone has shared — which is encouraged, especially if that person has asked for specific types of feedback — you can either reply directly to that person. (By default, responses will go only to the person who sent the email.) Or, if you want everyone to see your response, you can choose to reply to the entire group.

That’s it!

Those of us who have participated in this sort of exchange before agree: this deceptively simple mode of exchange does wonders for accountability, inspiration, and generally feeling less alone as a writer.

I hope you’ll join me ❤

*or as often as we can, given the conditions of our lives; there are no “shoulds” here, and we recognize that different people will be able to participate at different levels. And… please consider whether this is an appropriate time for you to participate in a writing circle ❤ If you think you’ll be able to share and/or respond to something ~3 times a week, Huzzah!
