Afternoon is the new Morning.
Stop forcing yourself into someone else’s schedule.
NoonWriters is a small, intimate writing gym (capped at 25 members) built for writers who come alive in the afternoon.
Guided by a Hollywood literary assistant, it’s a space where you’ll find gentle accountability, build discipline, sharpen your craft, and grow without hustle culture breathing down your neck.

The Problem
You’ve promised yourself, year after year, this would be the one. The year you finally found your rhythm, finished the draft, turned your writing into something steady.
But showing up for your own creativity is harder than anyone admits. Writing is lonely. The blank page is loud. Chores, work, and obligations line up like soldiers to distract you, and discipline slips through your fingers.
Maybe you’ve tried a writing buddy. Sometimes you were the one who flaked, sometimes they were. Either way, the partnership dissolved and so did your streak. Weeks passed. Then months. Then years. And your creative goals, those things that matter so deeply to you, stayed on the back burner, gathering dust.
And when you’re alone long enough, it’s easy to wonder why you even bother. Writing can start to feel selfish, frivolous, pointless. Life clamors for your attention, and your creative life, your real life, gets pushed to “someday.”
And maybe… just maybe, part of the reason was because you kept fighting your natural schedule. Productivity hacks everywhere champion the early morning writing routine.
Maybe you tried to get up early, set the 6am alarm only to feel like absolute death and skip out after a couple days of good form. You felt like a failure because you couldn’t stick to the “right” schedule. You felt broken, lazy, worthless.
The Solution
NoonWriters is built for your real rhythm.
Afternoons aren’t the consolation prize - they’re your natural morning. That golden hour when your energy finally clicks on, when your mind clears, when you can actually start. Instead of forcing yourself into a 6am straitjacket, you get to honor the schedule that already works for you.
Four days a week (yes, we take Friday’s off!) you step into a quiet, structured space that feels less like a class and more like a professional writing gym. Where what matters is showing up.
And you’re not lost in a sea of faces. NoonWriters is capped at 25 members, small enough to feel intimate, steady enough that you’ll recognize the same people beside you, day after day. That consistency is what transforms showing up from impossible into automatic.
It’s guided by someone who knows the industry inside and out - a Hollywood literary assistant who understands both the craft and the career… and majored in ‘Understanding & Influencing Human Behavior” (yes, I worked with multiple heads of department to build this in college) You’ll get gentle accountability, small but steady goals, and the kind of discipline that doesn’t punish but supports.
This isn’t hustle culture. This is growth mindset, psychology backed habit formation, and craft building. All with a little nudge to remember why your work matters.
Because when you show up consistently, not perfectly, your craft sharpens. Your discipline grows. Your pages accumulate. And the story you’ve been putting off finally has a chance to be told

Why NoonWriters Works
We Match Your Chronotype
Afternoon isn’t a compromise; for many “evening types” it’s when attention and cognitive performance actually rise. Aligning work with your natural rhythm boosts performance and reduces friction
We Make Discipline Automatic
Habits don’t “click” in 21 days. In real-world data, automaticity grows gradually, often taking around two months (with wide variation). Daily, same-time reps are how behavior sticks.
We Turn Intentions Into Follow-Through
A tiny check-in—what you’ll do, when, in this specific hour—uses “implementation intentions,” a strategy shown across a meta-analysis to raise goal attainment.
We use accountability that helps, not shames.
Human support from a trusted guide improves adherence when expectations are clear, collaborative, and process-focused - what researchers call “supportive accountability.” That’s the whole room..
We celebrate small wins, because they’re jet fuel.
Seeing visible progress (even tiny) reliably increases motivation and creative momentum; it’s the best predictor that you’ll come back tomorrow.
We compete softly - and only if you want.
Our opt-in Leadership Board spotlights consistency (streaks, goals completed, wins), not raw output. That nudges a mastery focus linked with persistence and healthier motivation compared to performance-only goals.
Bottom line:
Align the hour with your brain, ritualize it, make the plan concrete, add benevolent accountability, and let small wins pile up. That’s how “someday” turns into pages.

Built for Writers Like You —And Me.
Most of us don’t have the luxury of writing all day. We write after work, in stolen hours, or when the world finally goes quiet. But showing up alone again and again is hard.
NoonWriters is here to change that. This is a creative gym for people who think better later in the day, who crave structure but not pressure, and who want to write in good company.
I created it because I needed it too.
