Can't write alone?

BODY DOUBLING CAFÉ
Body doubling to get writing done
For neurodivergent humans
Tuesdays
1 PM Eastern time (Canada)
The Body Doubling Café is a free online co-working group specifically for writing together, made for neurodivergent humans like you, who find writing so much easier when they have company.
In other words, body doubling.
‘Body doubling’ might be the single most powerful and effective strategy for people with ADHD to manage issues like getting started and staying on task. It’s been used as part of in-person ADHD support for decades. The online version of body doubling really took off during the covid lockdowns, and now (2025) it seems like it's here to stay.
Online body doubling specifically for writing is a surprisingly helpful variation, whether you'd call yourself a capital-W "Writer" or not.
Whether you're a professional "Writer" or you only write because you have to (don't we all), writing can be just sooo painful that you balk at getting started.
Then when you do get started, it can be hard to stay at it when you're by yourself.
You might already do a version of body doubling without knowing it. Maybe you like to write at coffee shops, where the buzz of conversation and the fpsshhtt!!! of the cappuccino machine don't distract you but somehow make it easier to get writing done.
Weirdly, even meeting online can work wonders.
Join me every Tuesday online to experience how the presence of other people and the structure of the timed sessions and the presence of other people seem to provide enough mutual accountability to get shit done -- even without being together physically (and without the buzz of conversation (we're all muted) and fpsshhtt!!! of the cappuccino machine).
Body doubling for neurodivergent humans
A free online body doubling group made especially for writing
Tuesdays, 1-3pm Eastern
(Canada)
Zoom link upon registration
What to expect
Sessions are weekly, but you don't have to attend every week. And you don't have to sign up separately each week. Just register once, and you're done.
How does a session work?
- timed writing sprints (20-30 minutes) with short breaks between sprints (5-10 minutes)
- every session begins with a few minutes of guided mindfulness to help you settle, and a 5-minute warm-up sprint to, well, warm up
- a prompt is offered for the warm-up sprint
- quick check-in and check-out, with an opportunity (but no obligation) to say how you're doing, what you intend to work on, how things went for you (empathy guaranteed, no matter what)
- no response to your check-in except to cheer you on
- no advice, no chitchat, no judgement
- expert advice and support available in a breakout room upon request (just DM me in the chat for a short 1:1 where you can ask me anything)
No judgement
This group provides a kind, respectful, peaceful space that's safe for adult humans of all kinds, whatever their brain wiring, gender identification, race, spiritual practice, culture, body shape, socio-economic status, or age (over 18).
We write and support each other, quietly and peacefully, writing on our own, with joy (mostly) and in good company (always) (always!).
If you're not cool with any of that we probably won't get along, especially if you feel a need to be unkind in any way.
(P.S. If swearing offends you, you might get uncomfortable sometimes. Six weeks working in a fish plant in my 20s = potty mouth for life. )
Still with me? Fantastic!
Sign up here to write together and get sh*t done!
