Spring 2026 Accountability Group
Fuck You, Write Your Pages
The fall session of my accountability group, Fuck You, Write Your Pages, will begin Monday, March 16th. There are spots open!
Here is how it works:
Every Monday, accountability group members will receive a Substack newsletter accessible only to us, AKA the Fuckeroos. This email includes wisdom or advice from a working writer I admire: sometimes it’s a useful tip, sometimes it’s a writing prompt, sometimes it’s a stirring pep talk. Since the group is multi-genre, I ask different sorts of writers to contribute, from novelists to poets to screenwriters to essayists. Past contributors include Rufi Thorpe, Attica Locke, Matthew Zapruder, Grace Farris, and Rachel Khong, among other amazing writers.
Believe me when I say that this upcoming session’s roster of contributors will be superb.
At the end of every accountability group email, Fuckeroos must post the answer to two questions: How did writing go last week? And: What are your writing goals this week? I always include my own answers in the week’s email because I too want to be held accountable!
Some Fuckeroos aim to write a certain number of pages or words a week, while some set a time-at-the-desk goal. Some are outlining; others are revising. It’s up to each person to decide what they need to do. Hearing how it’s going for other people is inspiring and comforting. Some Fuckeroos even find a buddy for extra accountability.
If someone fails to post, they hear from me. I am very good at Being Stern. I want you working!
Throughout the week, I comment on everyone’s posts, and there’s some communication between Fuckeroos as well. It’s a supportive, energizing place to gather. We celebrate and commiserate, and we get our asses to work.
In addition to the weekly emails, I hold three optional Study Halls via Zoom throughout the session; typically, two are on Sunday mornings (PST), and one is held on a weekday morning. In these sessions, we briefly share what we’ll be writing, and then we mute ourselves and turn off our cameras to write alone-yet-together for ninety minutes. It’s amazing how much people get done in these Study Halls.
This group is open to writers of all experience and skill levels; there are very new writers participating as well as authors with multiple books published or projects developed. You can be working on a book, or a script, or a play, or a story, or a poem, or a newsletter post, or a journal practice—anything goes as long as you want to write and be held accountable.
The cost is $125, except for paying subscribers of this here newsletter, who can enroll for $100. (Subscriptions are currently 30% off until 3/1!)

Thanks and happy writing!
