Hey Sockmonkeys!

So, we had a small but fun group show up to our Midway Pie Day and Mug Exchange last Sunday. Blog post with all of the photos and details is now up, after having been delayed by both life and our recent Bomb Cyclone induced power and internet outages. I hope you'll go check the post out.

Here is a photo of the table with all of this year's wrapped mugs next to the green Sockmonkey basket that held the tickets to determine turn order for choosing a mug. So many mugs and so many different wrapping styles!

If you couldn't come to this, I hope you'll be able to attend our Winter Potluck and Blind Book Exchange - signups are already on the Google calendar, but a longer post will be put up soon.

Hi, Sockmonkeys!

Hard to believe we're almost half way through November! Well, whether you're taking part in our RebelWriMo Event this month or not, you're still welcome to attend and write or edit with us this Sunday. Please see the Pie Day post on the blog for more info and to RSVP! Hope you can join us.

A vertical orange rounded corner rectangle is on the left with the text "Midway Pie Day Is This Weekend! in white above a white line with the words "Join us for a Writing Potluck!" in brown above a horizontal darker rectangle with the words "Mug Exchange, Too!" in white in it. Below that in white is Sun Nov 17 12 - 2 p.m. and at the bottom of the rectangle in brown text are the words "See the Pie Day Post on the Blog for more info & to RSVP". The PCSockmonkeyWriters Logo with Polly Esther and Pierson is in the lower right corner on top of the pie. — view on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DCXXmuBzeRo/

Hi Sockmonkeys!

Just a quick reminder to take care of yourself, no matter what project you're working on and to let you know that the results of our dual platform Self-Care poll have been posted over on the blog!

Please check it out, as well as the linked Self-Care posts by our member AintDisco, if you haven't read them already.

Image: Yellow/beige background with a pink mug that has a white heart on it, brown liquid in it and wavy blue steam marks above it in the center of the post. The top of the post reads: Sockmonkey Writer RebelWriMo Self-Care Poll Results on the blog! Under that are the words Fill Your Cup and surrounding the mug are seven swirly arrows that point at the mug and have text next to them. That text reads, clockwise from the upper right: slow down, go for a walk, make time to play, be creative, get some fresh air, write in a journal and meditate. The PCSockmonkey Writers logo with Polly Esther and Pierson is in the lower right corner.

We have a Sockmonkey Writer who has generously offered to host a weekly Monday Coffee Shop Write In during the month of November.
Things to keep in mind:

This location can only seat 10 - 12 people maximum, including the host***
Seating is a mix of wooden chairs and padded bench seats
Outlets may or may not be accessible from some seating areas
It is drafty and can be loud, since it is a Starbucks
The host will have a rainbow scarf and a laptop (and may have a sign as well)
Please DO NOT attend if you have any symptoms of illness or have been exposed to someone who has, in order to keep from potentially spreading it to others
Masks are appreciated but not required
The host would like to ask that attendees be up to date on their Covid vaccinations, but this will not be checked

***If you're in our Discord, feel free to send a quick "Is there still room" or similar message in the -ins-happening-right-now channel before you head to the location so the host or another attendee can let you know the answer so you don't waste gas or time traveling there if seating is full.
Please see the Blog and the Google Calendar for more information. — view on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DB9TnbHpONL/

There's a longer post about this 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.

I hope you'll join our community in our group adventure as we work on our own individual adventures this November!

Hi Sockmonkeys!

Quick unplanned new post up on the blog!

One of our Discord members created some simple RebelWriMo social graphics for other Sockmonkeys to use. If you'd like more info, to take a look at them and/or to grab any for your own use, please see today's post on our Sockmonkey blog.

IMG: A light background with an edge border of fall leaves and a branch with a small version of our PCSockmonkey Writers Polly Esther and Pierson logo in the center at the top above the words "Rebelwrimo Social Media Graphics Created by a member of our Sockmonkey Discord Visit the blog for more info! writinginpierce.blogspot.com" centered from top to bottom between the leaves.

The full story with the entire breakdown is typed out on the most recent post on our blog, but here is an overview of the results of our quick poll.

It looks like the winner is with 53.3% of the votes. The November section in our Discord has already been renamed accordingly.

Thank you to all the Sockmonkeys who voted!
