WORD CHOIR: A writing and admin task co-working group
A weekly group that meets on zoom to focus on writing and admin tasks that support the writing life hosted by Cody Cook-Parrott For writers, artists, and creative entrepeneuers who want a peak into the process of creation and behind the scenes of experimental business.
Body Doubling as an art form
What is Word Choir?
Word Choir is an experimental co-working group focused on writing and the tasks we do to support the writing life.
We meet on Mondays and Thursdays, 9–11am EST on Zoom, to work alongside others in a quiet, supportive environment. People bring whatever supports their creative practice that day—writing, revision, emails, planning, scheduling, follow-through.
How does it work?
Word Choir is sliding scale $33-77/mo. We meet two times a week with a guest artist workshop every month and a monthly show and tell session. Open Study is not a therapeutic support group, but we do share big feelings. Open Study is focused on the work and the process of writing first and foremost.
Want in? Sign up here.
This is for you if :
- Finding steady, energizing writing time is hard, and your own pages keep getting the leftovers.
- Writing alone gets loud fast — second-guessing, open tabs, the laundry siren — until the spark feels far away.
- You care about the work, but you’re disconnected from it; momentum slips and starting feels heavier every week.
The future I a dreaming of for you :
At first, a weekly rhythm settles in. You show up, you light a candle or make tea, open your doc, and the pages start to add up — without the usual drama.
Pretty quickly, projects start to move: chapters drafted, essays revised and submitted, residency/grant apps sent, artist statements and syllabi written, website copy tightened, newsletter drafts finished…
Even the text to your advisor — or your mom — that you’ve put off for weeks gets written here.
Each session ends with your next steps named and your nervous system calmer than when you entered.
And after a few months, you look around and realize: there’s a pile now. A chapbook, a pitch packet, a handful of poems, a drafty book — momentum you can actually measure.
“There’s something magical happening in this corner of the internet. No joke. If you’re looking for a dose of inspiration, accountability and community into your writing days, you’ve found your spot. Cody’s co-working space are a no-judgement creative landing pad, an iterative safe space. It’s about making shit happen side-by-side. Cody’s delightful consistency, transparency and vision is icing on the cake. ”

Word Choir isn’t magic, but it’s close
Truly, it’s amazing what a goofy theme song (that changes every week), a timer, and a chat full of wins makes possible.
I know - you might be thinking, “But Cody, I’ve already put my writing project off for so long. What if I fail here too?”
And ooph, I feel that, friend. But that’s also why Landscapes works: the bar to show up is low, the structure is gentle, and you’re never doing it alone. Even if you miss a week, the rhythm keeps holding you until you’re ready to step back in.
So yes, you could keep circling the page until “tomorrow” becomes “ten years from now” —
Or - you could log on with us this week.
