Yes please. I'm in Paris for two weeks at the beginning of November with the goal of fleshing out a short essay series I've had in mind for a while, so this would be so perfect. Like Isabel below I've followed you for a while but could never do essay camp before. Thank you!

Hello! Isi here hailing from Spain. I've followed you almost since you started and I've always wanted to participate in essay camp, but it took me a long time to be back to writing. This year I feel strong enough to accept the 5-day challenge 🥰

Summer, I’ve followed you here for awhile and admire your beautiful writing. I’d love to join for this.

Love the five sentences idea too.

I have too many things to do but sometimes that means it’s a good time to carve out space for creativity.

I love and adore your Essay Camp posts, and would take them in any quantity you are willing to provide. They are always such high-quality, inspirational, hopeful, and helpful posts. I appreciate your work in this space, and am glad you have taken time to prioritize your health and are on the mend! Thank you, and I'm all in!

I love this idea, Summer, I'll definitely join in and thank you for offering these. Little non-overwhelming, short-term with the option of making it more long-term things like this really help me out of a creative rut when I've tried for too long to get myself out and am at that point of not knowing where next to turn- even if it's not long before I stumble into another rut and need to cast around for someone else dangling an ivy rope for me to grasp, each little offering like this is a stepping stone, or a pebble, in a better direction.

Yes please! I failed to complete the last essay camp (the messiness of life etc etc) and have been really looking forward to the next round, so this is perfect - especially a toned down version!

Great idea!!! I’ve been thinking on the lines of getting as much nonfiction writing (as in head down get the writing on the page) done as possible in November so this is perfect for me!!
