You can be a Flocker if..
You need a stress-free creative outlet...
because the world is on fire. Someone always needs something from you. And you're waiting to see if AI takes your job (or you're sick of hearing about it).
You'd love a hobby...
that doesn't require an Amazon cart full of expensive essentials to get started.
You want to connect with other humans...
like a little, not too much.
You'd love to write better...
but don't want to listen to a pretentious dude point out everything you're doing wrong for an hour.
You can laugh at bad jokes...
because there will be duck puns.
You're local to Monmouth County, NJ...
to join our in-person sessions in muse-worthy spaces, such as The Plant Lady's House.
People Flocking Love Us
Luke Gleadall
"As someone who has not engaged with creative writing for a while it provided tons of inspiration and prompts to get old muscles moving and discover new ones too. I'm inspired!"
Katherine Matheson
"It was refreshing and grounding to write creatively for me, rather than for work. Nicole’s prompts inspired me, and she created a safe space to try something new."
Samantha Farr
"an enjoyable experience with some great takeaways that I can apply to my writing moving forward. I walked away with helpful insights and felt more inspired to write."

Let's find joy together
Hey there, I'm Nicole, Monmouth County local and founder of Let's Ducking Write. The idea for this writing club hatched from a desperate need to find joy in my day, which was quickly being overtaken the noise of LinkedIn posts about AI, the chaos in my industry, and the demands of motherhood.
​Writing is the way forward. I find joy in getting words down, but more than that, I love helping others find their spark. I wanted to create a playful, low-key space where writers (because you are a writer, whether you're "good" at it or not) could connect with themselves and feel a sense of accomplishment. And truly, being able to say "I Can Ducking Write!" does that for you.
​
So I hope you'll take the plunge and come write with me and the rest of the flock. You might just surprise yourself with what you can do.
​
I can't wait to write with you.
