Daily Write
Round Robin

Round Robin is the best way I’ve found to break through my lifelong writer’s block.

About the Round Robin

Again and again, I am reminded of how much we all crave (and need) ways to be creative, expressive, inventive. And when we do that — when we carve out the time, give ourselves permission and plunge in, we thrive. We live more fully.

Prompts

Each Monday the class facilitator shares a week’s worth of daily writing prompts with participants. Designed as springboards, the prompts are brief, open-ended, and applicable across genres.

I loved the prompts in Round Robin. They had just the right kind of openness. They might generate a scene, a character, a dialog, but they always seemed to work.

Daily Writing

Daily writing is the foundation of this online course. Writing for 12 minutes each day enables participants to continually produce new material, invite the unexpected, and prioritize writing in their lives.

The discipline of showing up at the page each day, even when I didn’t feel particularly inspired, began to unlock a sense of trust in myself as a writer.

Partner Exchanges

Partner exchanges form the core of the Round Robin community. Participants rotate through weekly partners, commenting each day on a partner’s emailed submission with supportive and encouraging feedback.

Without the supportive and generous comments of my writing partners, I could never have written so much work that I feel this good about.

Upcoming Round Robins

Round Robin is offered four times a year in a 3-week version, twice a year in a 6-week version, and twice a year in the traditional 8-week version. The 3-week version is built as a preparatory class for the 6- or 8-week versions or as an alternative that requires a shorter commitment.
