Loneliness kills, art saves lives: so let's make the most out of our time indoors this Coronavirus season and make stuff together. I'm going to be LIVESTREAMING 7am - 10am every weekday this week, working on my creative projects alongside you. Whether you're working from home and want to do something for yourself when you WOULD have been commuting, are generally feeling isolated or just want a kick up the bum to get your project done, I'm gunna be here doing art-sprints all week. Write that novel, knit that hat, paint that lemon. Let's make gumption-ade! WEEKDAYS, 7am - 9am UK TIME - 16th,17th, 18th, 19th and 20th March 2020.

@nikkiwilliamson46654 years ago I have my own creative process but I watched this afterwards and just skipped forward through the 25 minute timers and watched the chatting bits so I’m glad you’ve kept it up. I really want to know more about your book!! 2

@lolsous4 years ago This is so great! I've some writing I need to get done this week so this is perfect, and I've a cold and thus need to isolate myself, so even more perfect. Usually I work for 40 minutes and then have a rest, and repeat for a maximum of 4 times, this is what they told me is optimal when writing your PhD, but 25 minutes is much more relaxing! ... 2

@0rangecats4 years ago Hi Leena! Joining from California at 6am just before work. I’m from Ireland and entirely jet-lagged from a quick trip home last week. This time during quarantine, I am going to edit my novel as I’ve put that off for months! Does anyone want to start an accountability writing group? Such a great idea to start this live stream , Leena! 💜 ... 1

@alisonallen86584 years ago I have the problem of too many ideas. And used the first exercise idea to merged three of them with the connection I only thought of recently! And it really flowed over flowed if anything (yes i went beyond time). I didn't think hand writing would help but boy did it with continue throughout this season then type up later. ... 1

@hindhussein52244 years ago I was just planning to read Station 11, I don't know the details of the story. Should I really not read it now ? I feel like dystopia makes me feel like things could be worse. 1

@hindhussein52244 years ago Washing hands every 25 minutes isn't useful. Washing hands at least once during the livestream, now that might be useful ! To a different song every day ! :D 1
