Hey there, Writer, Together, we are stepping onto a new path in your writing journey. I’m so glad you’ve decided to explore the landscape of your writer self so that you can bring your story idea into the world with confidence and joy and rumbling creativity.
Imagination. That’s your first test. Exploring the path of imagination will lead you into rare, beautiful worlds.
But if your real-world self doesn’t fully support your writer self, then your imagination might not be used to its fullest potential. And when that happens, we often mistrust or even outright abandon our ideas or projects.
We’re afraid we just don’t have what it takes to be a writer.
That’s why I created this course, or really, this exploration of your creative potential, Fire Up Your Writing Practice.
The lessons within offer an opportunity for you to discover who you are as a writer, how you can make the most of your story ideas, and what you need in your writing life to help you start strong, and write strong.
More like an outpost in the middle of the wild writing realm, this course can supply all writers for their journeys so they can build a writing practice they can count on.
Whether you’re an enthusiastic beginning writer, you’ve lost connection to your Muse, or you’ve returned to an uncertain writing dream after a long detour, Fire Up Your Writing Practice will help guide you along the paths that fill you up with adventure, excitement, and courage.
I suggest “journaling” out your curiosity, ideas, thoughts, fears, hopes, rants, everything, and anything that bespeaks your writer self. Know that you are free to use any method of journaling that is effective and inspiring to you. (By the way, I use the term "journal" to describe a safe place to explore and record your curiosity. "Journal" can be anything from a hardbound book, notepad, recording app on your phone, sticky notes on the wall, Word document, messages in a bottle...)
Most important -- whatever your method of journaling, use it with the knowledge that it is meant to safeguard your ideas, build your confidence, and encourage you on your journey.
The lessons can be studied sequentially or not, depending on how you process information best. They are open-ended, which means you can take as little or as much time exploring the observations and notes, journaling your responses, and following through on the action steps.
