10 AM PST is 11:30 PM IST (India) 😅 Maybe have multiple writing slots for various timezones across the week.

Definitely. This is just a prototype for what we hope to expand to include more times/days.

This is great. Especially as my Substack is on the theme of silence.

Even though this was during my workday, I was able to spend my lunch eating + writing. The opportunity to connect w other writers afterwards was a treat too.

Great idea. I'm sure that it will bring some needed commitment to those in a time zone that works for them. Being in the UK and available only on Sundays and Mondays, I'm afraid I'd struggle with the experiment. Maybe worth recording, and then you could make that an accountable hour option?

We won’t be recording these, but hope you can attend after we add more times.

Would love an early morning or evening eastern time slot. Even Sunday morning would be very nice!

I would love to participate, but Wednesday is my day my daughter is home from daycare. Maybe do it on different days occasionally?

I have a standing meeting at that time, but would love to join another! Putting in a request for something mid-to-late afternoon PST.

I'd love to join but I'll be at work doing that time. Is it possible to get some after 1pm on Wednesdays or some weekend sessions?

I'd love to have joined, but I just checked the time, and see it's at GMT-8 which means 2am for me here in Portugal. Will there be the option for another session, timed to suit we Europeans?
