QUIET HOURS FOR BUSY ARTISTS

The Morrison Hour

Virtual coworking for makers who need help sitting at the desk (or kitchen table...or floor). No promises of a perfect routine, just gentle accountability to help you show up for your creative work.

[potentially at an ungodly hour of the morning]

HOW IT WORKS

Hi, I'm Megan. I'm a writer who's tired of waiting for perfect conditions that would allow me to write mid-afternoon.

I'll be on GoogleMeet from 5:00-7:00 AM ET, giving my first energy to my creative work. You're invited to join me for some quiet coworking!

You'll also get access to a folder designed to help you:

  • Share an overview of your work with our community of makers
  • Track your own progress day-to-day and week-to-week
  • Share any gaps or roadblocks you're encountering

If the 5-7 ET slot doesn't work for you: I hope you'll take the general principle (carving out daily time for your art, even if it's just 15 minutes) and use the folder tool to share your work + progress.

THE HOUR

5:00-07:00 AM ET

Join us on GoogleMeet on weekdays; build a sustainable habit through the gentle accountability of people who know your face.

I'm committed to this slot for the month of August; after that, I may adjust! This whole thing is an experiment!


YOUR FOLDER

USED DAILY

A record to show yourself your progress, notes, roadblocks, and breakthroughs.


THE ASK

SHARED WEEKLY

What do you need to move forward with your art? Share your ask, and the Morrison Hour crew will help you if we can.


THE INSPIRATION

Drawn from Toni Morrison, of course. Ms. Morrison famously rose early to write, before other obligations — children, work, friends — began calling her name. As much as I hate to admit it, I think early mornings might be the way to claim that time in my own life...but I need some accountability to pull me through the first five minutes out of bed. I thought you might too.


"I also began in those years to keep early hours. … If anybody has a job and starts at 9, there’s no reason why they can’t get up at 4:30 or 5 and write for a couple of hours, and give their employers their second-best effort of the day — which is what I did.”
