It’s not going to write itself.
You. Me. 12 weeks. Unimaginable progress.
You know what I’m talking about.
Your book. Your essay. Your poems. That thing, that’s been sitting in your body for so long and you KNOW you need to get it out, but where do you even start, and how do you find the time, and what if you can’t even really articulate what it is yet, and OMG this is so overwhelming let’s put the idea away.
Except it keeps waking you up in the middle of the night. Poking you, while you’re walking the dog or doing the dishes.
Things that open the doors of possibility in the world.
That is my life’s purpose. And, I also know from the past 20+ years of writing and helping other people write that possibility-opening ideas can't have a tangible impact until they're put into a material form — aka words — where they can actually DO something.
My dream is that we get to the end of this time and there's several new stones thrown into the pond of the world, making ripples we can't imagine now.
What’s the container?
A 1:1 kickoff call with me, then a mix of weekly Zoom meetings + 3 x weekly short, no stress online check-ins, with ongoing writing support, unfolding guidance, and general cheerleading from me.
No more than 5 people in the group, including me.
We'd meet on Zoom once a week on Mondays at a time that makes sense for everyone. I'll give us all a prompt to explore something with our project, and we'll do that for about 10 mins.
Then we'll share what we have. Sounds simple. Can confirm, is transformative.
In the in-between times, we'll do short check-ins via an online platform on M/W/F -- Monday we set our intentions for the week, Weds we talk about how that's going, Friday we talk about how it went.
Super relaxed. Nothing homework-y. Just a rhythm to return to, and the support of other people doing the work.
And I'm here both as colleague and guide.
I've done a whole lot of writing over the years, and helped a whole lot of people get their ideas from the metaphysical realm into the material realm. Or, in other words, out of their heads and into the world.
I'm really good at it. The last one of these I ran, we had someone complete a comprehensive model that encapsulated their decades of work, someone else went from zero to halfway done with their book AND got invited to pitch to agents, another person started her long-awaited memoir, and yet another person started their first book about their life’s work.
I also really like it. And I especially love doing it with good people doing important work in the world. (Like you.)
Plus, I'll be working on my own project – a series of essays that I think is coming together into a book called Sins Like Chickens!
So I'm in this right alongside you.
Logistics:
We start off doing a call, just you and me, to talk through your project and see how I can support you in our time together.
Our group calls run from July 7 - September 29. Calls run 60-90 mins, depending on how we go.
The platform will be open from June 23 - October 3rd, so you can get oriented before the first call, and still get group support after the last one.
$1200 for the quarter. We can absolutely break that into payments as needed.
What say you?
I’d truly love to have you in this group!
