For the last 9 months or so, I’ve been posting Martini Shot Friday videos over on TikTok. It began as a weekly progress report on the writing of Dying to Go. But over time it has evolved into something broader; a way to process how the week had gone before I settled into my weekend with a martini and a crossword puzzle. It’s become a much anticipated ritual: I put on my pajamas, a ridiculous amount of accessories, and allow myself to feel a sense of accomplishment that I got through another week. Sometimes my cats make cameos. And sometimes I try to save Democracy.
I love to think of ways to build community and so lately I’ve been wondering, “What if we all did this together?” What if we met once or twice a month on a live Zoom and had Martini Shot Friday with each other? Put on our sweats with our beverage of choice and recognize the tough things we dealt with that week, the wins, and the questions it left us with. We could talk about big issues and smalls ways to make a difference.
Well, we don’t know until we try. So let’s give it a go and see what happens. The First Martini Shot Friday will be on Friday April 19 at 5pmET/8pmPT. It may also be the final. Or the first of many. Let me know what you think in the comments.
At this time, I’m only offering this to Paid Subscribers. Because of safety issues, it’s the only way I feel comfortable sending a Zoom link to people and inviting them to participate. I hope you’ll understand, and that this might be incentive for you to become one. And no worries if not.
Have a great weekend! We made it!
Just upgraded to paid because of your Tik Tok above! Thanks.
Ooh, I’m in!
