Embrace Your Writing Journey!
And have a bunch of fun with a bunch of other writers while you’re at it!
There are a whole bunch of ways to live your best writing life in my Facebook writing community, To Live & Write. There always will be. Membership there is free.
For writers who crave learning through hands-on play and experimentation, having access to a wide assortment of writing labs, workshops, and retreats is an essential part of carving out the life they want, immersed in writing + creativity, firmly planted on a path to success.
The most highly sought after support for this growth and development is additional 1:1 time with their coach (hey, that’s me!), outside and separate from the group dynamics of labs, workshops, and retreats.
Some people like to pick and choose what they want to do each month, or skip a few months, and pay as they go.
Other people like to budget; they prefer to pay for x amount of deliverables, plop them on the calendar, and forget about it until it’s time to show up. These memberships make that happen. And they also come with random perks to keep things fun.
