Also, it's the middle of the month, but I just saw this posted - if you're interested in submitting stories this month, take a look through this post: publishedtodeath.blogspot.com/2025/09/51-w... (It's late, so I haven't looked through them all... just passing it along so I don't forget!)

I know it's semi-short notice, but I'm trying to get it in before our traditional Midway Pie Day and our Winter Book Exchange... so, here's the info on our 4th Quarter Potluck and mini Preptober. I hope you'll attend! writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/10/sock...

Quick new post on the blog w/an update about the 3rd quarter potluck PLUS dates for our final events of 2025. Hope you'll check it out and plan to attend (more details to come): writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/10/3rd-... #PCSockmonkeyWriters #BlogPost #InPersonEvents

One of our Sockmonkey writers posted a question on the Discord looking for suggestions for possible weekend writing meetups this November. The newest post on the blog has the pertinent details: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/10/sock... #PCSockmonkeyWriters #InPersonEvents #LookingForInput

It was buried in drafts, but I finally fixed some photo issues and now the 2024 Winter Potluck and Book Exchange post is up on the blog. If you were there, please let me know if you read the book you chose! writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/10/bela...

Apologies for the short notice, but I hope some of you will be able to join us this Saturday, September 27th, 2025 from 1 - 3 p.m. for our 3rd Quarter Potluck. Details and sign up forms can be found posted on our blog. Hope to see you there! #PCSockmonkeyWriters #WriteIns

Just a quick post to let you know that the weekly Zoom write-in will not be happening tomorrow, but will resume next week. 3rd Quarter Potluck and Write-In announcement coming soon! #PCSockmonkeyWriters #ZoomWriteIn #WriteInCancelled

Hi Sockmonkey Writers! Here is your friendly reminder about our event tomorrow, Sunday, April 27th, 2025. It's our 2nd Quarterly Potluck & Write-In of the year from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. in Parkland/Spanaway. Details & sign-up links on our regional blog. Hope to see you then!

It may not seem writing related, but it is! Please check out this post on the blog about the Graham Library's Combo Book and Food Drive event (including some info for those who don't live near Graham): writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/04/grah...

I know this one is close on the heels of the last, but if you're able, I hope you'll join us for our upcoming Potluck and Creative session! More info and forms to RSVP and sign up for the potluck can be found on this post on our blog: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/04/apri...

Quick Wednesday Writing Weigh-in for you today, Sockmonkeys! This graphic only has a few possible options for responses. There are a few more on this very short blog post: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/04/apri... Please check in here or there and let us know how your writing is going!

Okay, last post for today... Some of you may have seen posts about this elsewhere, but NaNoWriMo HQ sent out an email March 31st talking about closing down the nonprofit. The text of that email is in the following post, along with some other information: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/04/an-u...

After getting a question about it in our Sockmonkey Discord, I verified with our host and found out that this month's Write Time on April 20th has been canceled. There is a short post on the blog about it if you'd like to check that out: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/04/upda... .

Whoops! I started the post at the last Potluck and didn't get back to it. Please check out the blog post on our 1st Quarterly Potluck and Write-in: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/03/marc... . Sign ups & info for our 2nd Potluck will be up soon, so keep an eye out for that if you're interested!

This weekend is the GWIC (Global Write In Crawl) which is hosted by multiple writers in different countries around the world, but on the same Discord server. Here's a link to their IG if you want to see the schedule: www.instagram.com/teamgwic?utm... . Any Sockmonkeys participating?

Well, here we are at the beginning of April 2025, Sockmonkeys! Are you working on anything story related this month? Create your own goal on Trackbear then join our Regional Leaderboard. A bit more info is in this blog post: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/04/writ... . #PCSockmonkeyWriters

Hi Sockmonkeys! Just a reminder that our 1st quarterly potluck and get-together of 2025 is tomorrow, Saturday, March 29th, from 2 - 4 p.m. Details and sign ups are on the blog and I'll be live-streaming the event to Discord for those unable to attend in person. Hope to see you there!

Hi all! I need to step away from the PC and give my back a break, but I wanted to share the link to the newest blog post inviting you to our 1st Quarterly Sockmonkey Writer Get Together and Potluck! Hope you'll join us!: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2025/03/our-... #PCSockmonkeyWriters

It's supposed to be visible in all of North America. Think we'll get a break in the clouds to see any of it, #PCSockmonkeyWriters? #BloodMoon #LunarEclipseMarch2025

Flower break.

This link was shared in our #PCSockmonkeyWriters FB group not long ago and I thought I'd share it here for any of you who write sci-fi, especially with rockets: projectrho.com/public_html/...

The host of the Saturday writing Zoom let me know that it won't be happening today, in case anyone was planning on joining them this morning.

Here's the update post on our #PCSockmonkeyWriters November Trackbear Leaderboard, plus the invitation to our December Leaderboard (see post for ways to access the join code): writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2024/12/nove...

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

Quick reminder to any #PCSockmonkeyWriters who may see this - our Winter Potluck and Blind Book Exchange is today. Hope to see you there!

Okay, another catch up post on the blog. This one is to invite you to our Winter Potluck and Blind Book Exchange. Please read the post and visit the links to sign up. Hope to see you there! writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2024/11/2024...

Sockmonkeys who write or read fanfiction: I saw this video earlier, it's pretty short... have you seen it? What do you think of what's said about fanfiction and how this might affect it? youtu.be/c7r35ZqEQ_c?...

Also a bit delayed, but finally up, is the blog post with the events for RebelWriMo Week 4: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2024/11/rebe...

It was a bit delayed, but the week 4 theme post for RebelWriMo is now up on the blog, Sockmonkeys. You can find it here: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2024/11/rebe...

Catch up post on the Blog about last week's Midway Pie Day and Mug Exchange - including posts from other Sockmonkey Writers and a thank you to a Sockmonkey crafter: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2024/11/midw...

I'm here at the Sumner Library from 2 - 4 p.m. today if you'd like to join an in-person writing session, Sockmonkeys.

Bomb cyclones and atmospheric rivers...didn't we do this already? Hope everyone stays safe and as warm as possible. Be prepared for power outages. Back up your writing and charge spare batteries if you have them! www.nbcnews.com/weather/wint...

So glad you could attend and we're so lucky to have a Sockmonkey who made those and shared them with us!

Hey Sockmonkeys! RebelWriMo Week 2 theme post is up on the blog (a little late) now: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2024/11/rebe...

Hi Sockmonkeys! In case you haven't checked the schedule, there's a coffee shop write-in tonight. See this blog post and the Google calendar for more info: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2024/11/quic...

RebelWriMo week one writing event schedule is up on the blog: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2024/11/rebe... . Check it out and write with us when your schedule allows!

Week One theme of RebelWriMo. Each week is a Choose Your Own Adventure title, picked because it seemed to fit that act in story structure. This week is the Call to Adventure, so the title chosen as the theme for this week is "Greed, Guns & Gold." More on the blog!

There's a longer post on the blog, but it was decided that, since we're rebelling, our theme for the month should be Choose Your Own (Writing) Adventure. Yes, like the books. Come join our community in a group adventure as we work on our individual adventures this month!

Track your own project and join our RebelWriMo Leaderboard to see how others are doing with their goal this month (not sponsored). See this blog post for more info: writinginpierce.blogspot.com/2024/10/join...
