…for inspiration to strike, beating yourself up, not having enough time or energy to write, staring at the blinking cursor, and comparing yourself to other writers?
I get it. That was me in 2014. I felt stuck, lonely, and woefully disconnected from myself as a writer.
So I decided to try something new. I created 10 prompts and led a two-week online writing group. Twelve people came together with no goal other than to practice – and practice we did. The writing and sense of connection spurred me to do it again the next month, and the next, and again after that. By the summer of 2015, I made up a title for myself, quit my day job as a career counselor, and began "promptressing" full time, offering fierce encouragement for writing + life to new and experienced writers alike.
In the years since, my work with thousands of people has convinced me of our need for approaches to getting words on the page that center practice, play, and possibility – setting aside polishing, producing, publishing, and perfectionism. (In Module 2, you'll learn about "p" words :)
Whether you're brand new to writing practice or you're in a rut of old habits and self-imposed rules, this course will help you loosen up the words, be kinder to yourself, and discover more creative ease on and off the page.
