Writing Cleanse is the creative jumpstart you’ve been searching for.

That’s why we created Writing Cleanse. We wanted to turn the solitary act of writing into a community event you’ll look forward to, even on the days when you feel like you have nothing to write about. It’s a space you can turn to when you’re feeling stuck, and a commitment you can put on your calendar that you won’t schedule over.

One thing we’ve learned (the hard way) is that you can’t sit around waiting for inspiration to strike or free time to magically appear on your calendar. Writing only happens when you make the time to do it. But when life is busy and work is hard, sitting in front of a screen by yourself can feel impossible.
