Hey there A+ member!

This roundtable was inspired both by you, our members, writing in asking for about writing from our team (and I don’t think this will be the last roundtable about writing at all!), and by my personal, continuous and enduring failure to maintain any semblance of a regular writing routine. I just hop from one “routine” to another, but actually, don’t you have to maintain a certain order of events over a certain number of days for it to be considered a “routine”? Otherwise, is it just a…happening?

So, in an effort to inspire all of us (because sitting down and actually writing words is half the battle), I thought why not start with what surrounds us when we write, when we do it, and what we feel we need with us to begin the process? What snacks do we have? What do we listen to?

If you have tips for establishing a writing routine (or want to talk about how we don’t actually need them!!), or want to share your own routine, we’d all love to hear from you in the comments! Thank you for sustaining this space dedicated to writing by queer and trans people. You all are the best!

xoxo,

Nico
