I’m excited about two hours of chatting on Twitter that I’m hosting this week — an hour on New Year’s Eve that will be a goal-setting workshop and an hour on New Year’s Day for chatting about books to support our New Year goals, projects, and resolutions.

Wordsmith Studio is hosting a 24-hour New Year Bash from noon EST on December 31 to noon EST on January 1. I’m taking over one hour to lead a goal-setting workshop. All are welcome! Many people will be thinking about goals related to their writing, but the prompts and exercises will work for any goal. Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, at 2PM Eastern / 1PM Central / Noon Mountain / 11AM Pacific / 10AM Alaskan / 9AM Hawaiian. That’s 7PM UTC, so maybe some of my friends in Europe and Africa can take part as well. Hashtag #WSchat.

On New Year’s Day, in the evening, the New Year’s Resolution Reading Challenge chat will be an hour of talking about books. What better way to start the New Year? Join us Wednesday, New Year’s Day, at 9PM Eastern / 8 Central / 7 Mountain / 6 Pacific / 5 Alaskan / 4 Hawaiian. That’s 1PM on January 2 in Sydney so maybe some of my friends in the Pacific Rim can join. The hashtag is #WSchat.
