Is There a Plane on the Plane?
Writing practice takes many forms
Do you keep wanting to write more but have a hard time getting going or sticking with it? (Skip to the end for your $50 discount on a 1:1 coaching session!)
You could…
Do morning pages (these are mine from today)
Write 11 things
Write one sentence a day
Write a haiku
Aim for a certain number of words or minutes
Pick a line from a poem and ask it a question
Look at a piece of art or listen to music and have a conversation on the page or let it evoke a memory or a story
Make up something ridiculous
Take a walk and write down 25 things you noticed, then choose one and give it a name, a birth date, and a history
Write a rant or a series of tiny requests to the universe
Write a letter to your favorite aunt or uncle or cousin or niece or nephew
Begin with a cliché like “once upon a time” and see what happens
Create a fantastical world where spoons bend and dogs fly and wars end
Make a list of words you always misspell on the first try
Describe an object or a mood or a crying jag or a laughing fit in as much detail as possible
Name the thing that scares you the most, the thing you want more than anything, the thing you are clinging to, the thing you are ready for.
What’s the common denominator?
Letting go of judgment, expectations, and attachment.
What you write, believe it or not, does not really matter.
That part comes later.
All you have to do at first is show up. Start. Then keep going. And most of all: Be good to yourself.
Energize your writing life this month!
To celebrate my upcoming 50th birthday and how utterly grateful I am to be here doing work I love, I'm offering $50 off single coaching sessions for the whole month!
We can focus on questions related to anything writing-related, creating more space for the things that matter most to you, and/or whatever else is most pressing on your mind and heart these days.
When I see folks I've worked with making life-affirming decisions for themselves, sharing more freely and authentically (or getting more comfortable with boundaries and sharing more selectively), and giving fewer f@*!s about appearances, I always let out a little cheer.
Every day that we get to be here is a chance to choose how to show up. I'd love to support you this month in doing just that.
