How about kicking off 2026 with your own #writingretreat on the first weekend of the year, #writingcommunity? Here's a schedule suggestion. You can follow it both days or just one. I'll be listening to @writingexcuses.bsky.social and #amwriting to their homework. And you? Let me know how it goes!

An image of a schedule titled "Writing Retreat" with two columns on a light blue background. Snowflakes and purple prints of plants adorn the edges.
The right column gives actions in bold with short explanations beneath; the left durations.
The titles, durations (and descriptions) are: Move your body, 1 hour (Go for a walk, do yoga, use your treadmill, play music and wiggle your limbs... shake off the sleep cobwebs.); Breakfast and Podcast, 1 hour (Settle down with your breakfast, a notebook, and take notes as you listen to an episode of your choice.); First Writing Block, 2 hours (Do an exercise or something new, revise something old, edit something nearly done.); Grab a Snack and Walk, 1 hour (It’s your break time, so go outside if you can); Second Writing Block, 2 hours (Continue what you started, or start something new.); Dinner, 2 hours (Cook something yummy and enjoy.); Reading Time, 3 hours (Reading is just as important as writing, so read until your bedtime.)

Apart from describing where the poem was born, I discuss writing a poem a day: "It’s about generating fragments, chunks of clay, from which fully fledged works can arise." How often do you partake in a-day challenges #poetrycommunity? And what kind of challenges are these?

A #bookquote from Fascism. I've often wondered how many people understand that equality means the privileged need to give up things. Then I see the fear and anger, and wonder are we, the privileged, able to give up (at least some of) our privileges?

I'm almost halfway through Albright's Fascism: A Warning, and hoping to get a bit further in this week. I keep pausing on quotes like this one and meditating on them. Then there's Wonderbook. Reading that with my writing group. This month's worldbuilding (Chapter 6). Otherwise, it's short stories.
