Video body doubling sessions?

[silvercat17]

Would folks be interested in work-along sessions over Zoom or Discord where we can chat and work? Like a virtual write-in or stitch-n-bitch. I have a zoom one set up over on the ADHD site that I'm a member of and I could add the link for y'all as well.

Would love! It's supportive and social. It's audio and visual. It's underrated. I feel it's essential for creative innovation. Fleshing your ideas in the with another is a clarifying process unlike one you can do solely on your own. You can do it on your own like playing tennis with a machine but it's different.

I feel there is this illusion that thinking originates in our head and then is shared. What if thinking is created & generated in conversation. We do this ourselves when we talk to ourselves but it is much more dynamic with another person. The way you speak when you know someone will be listening is like cleaning and organizing your space before a guests come over. Having to explain or teach something is often the best way to learn and internalize what you think you know but may not know as well as when you have to explain or teach it.

I want my Scully! 😀 and I want you to have your own too!

Strong opinion it should be recurring Calendar Appointment at a certain day and time or why even bother with inconsistency & never reach momentum. And with recurring times you can reschedule or skip a session as an exception rather than a rule. This group even follows this format every Saturday.

Yeah, you can already tell where I stand on this. I, myself, am a product of bi-weekly conversation with a fandom friend since August 2018 that continues to this day and it has been invaluable. What has been accomplished as a result of these conversation is the alternate reality we now exist in.

Thank you for offering this. Hopefully our pool of creatives have interests common enough to make the interaction engaging and fruitful.

Yes, I am interested! That would be awesome. I used to join virtual letter writing socials by the LWA back when they still existed and those were so much fun. Would love to join something similar.
