Writers Daily Dive is a collaboration of intent.
Writers Daily Dive is a growing fellowship of writers dismantling perfectionism one hour at a time. 1:00 Weekdays. We meet. We chat. We mute. We write in silence. It's a little bit genius.
Why the dive, and why is it daily, and why do it with others?
Because it is a leap of faith to go into our work. There’s an invisible barrier that tells us not to take the plunge, but going in daily hurts less. Ive learned this swimming in the Long Island Sound. The longer you resist plunging in, the colder the water. It is also easier to meet the strange creatures of the deep in the safety of a group, which offers a special kind of charged silence.
A subscription gets you a free week of the Writers Daily Dive. After that you can upgrade to $10 bucks a month.

Join us for one hour of focus during the chaos of the day. We are practicing serious self-compassion by showing up even on dark days. We meet on Zoom at 1:00 pm, EST. We leave our cameras on so it feels less lonely. We wrap up at 2:00. Those who are onto something just continue writing. Those who want to check in can chat.
Think of Writers Daily Dive as a safe landing place. We keep it a little loose. It doesn’t have to be stressful. You could use it as a silent place to think or meditate. But if you do want to write, you can use these images as prompts. I love writing from images. It gives me a structure. Write only what I can see. It's a great exercise for those of us who get lost in out heady thoughts - to stay in the image at all costs.
Please also read : A Suitable Vessel. This is where you can read installments from Ghost Chapters From The Green Books, about life in the aftermath of my husband’s death in 2020.
Also on offer is a running writers group that has been meeting in East Hampton for 9 years! We now meet on Zoom. It’s called the Writers Collective Out East. We write in-group for 10 minutes, and then give feedback to members on their submitted pieces of writing. We meet every Wednesday at 6:30 PM EST.
I like this idea. I have done this a few times now and it really works!
