30 Days of Writing with Pleasure
Get ready to write with delight!
Dear fellow writer,
Welcome to 30 Days of Writing with Pleasure! I’m delighted that you are joining me for this global writing adventure throughout the month of January.
Every day for the next 30 days, I’ll send you a friendly, encouraging video message inviting you to show up and write with pleasure for at least 25 minutes per day.
(Or more if you want to! Or less if you want to!)
If you live in North or South America, you’ll find your daily video in your inbox when you wake up; in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, you can watch it while you drink your morning coffee; and in Asia, Australasia, and Oceania, look out for it to arrive in the afternoon or evening.
Wherever and whenever you write, you’ll be part of a community of writers from around the world who will be writing alongside you and cheering you on your way. The Comments section below offers a great place for us all to connect.
Please scroll down and take moment right now to tell us who you are, where you are, and why you’re here.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow for Day 1 of Writing with Pleasure!
Ngā mihi mahana (warm greetings),
Helen

Hi, my name’s Pam, and I live near Castlemaine in central Victoria, Australia. I’m here for two reasons: to get into a routine of writing each day, and because writing can be lonely and I like being part of a writing community when that opportunity’s there.
Hello writers! I'm Jo. I live in the US in Fraser Colorado but am currently spending time in Northern Michigan with family for the holidays. I look forward to starting off 2024 writing with pleasure alongside all of you!
