๐ช WOVEN INTO EACH WEEK
๐ก Pay closer attention to what you read, write, and study and synthesize it for creative public format : Identifying what the hell you want to write and talk about in the first place and how it fits into your business, art practice, and personal life. How to turn specific life events into approachable topics for readers, and inviting ritual and magic to heighten your awe and noticing in the world.
๐ก Turn every week into a research project : Perhaps every week you feel scattered with your notes, ideas, thoughts, and don't know where to put them or how to organize them. I won't teach you any specific ways to organize your research per se (there are other amazing courses for that!) but I will show you my own process of turning the chaos of the notes app, lists, sticky notes, and links into an easy to read newsletter, advice column, art show, course, book, and more!
๐ก Write a newsletter, record a podcast, make a book : Pick your platforms, build your list, organize your ideas, and share it with the world** : This is often what stops most people from even starting. The overwhelm of seeing everyone else have an email list with hundreds of people, thousands of social media followers, a podcast with thousands of downloads, and feeling like they're already behind. The good news is : You are right on time and it is never too late to start. You'll be amazed what you can do with 20 people on an email list and a few ears eager to listen
๐ก Turn your efforts into an act of service to the people who are interested in what you say : We will look into creating a retreat / residency mindset on a solo adventure or at your own kitchen table. Think artist dates, field trips, book clubs, co working spaces, and more
THIS CLASS IS FOR YOU IF :
๐ผ For years you have thought : I want to write a newsletter, create a podcast, make a book, teach, craft an amazing syllabus - but I have no idea where to start
๐ผ You signed up for Mailchimp or Substack but hitting send is absolutely terrifying so you never do
๐ผ You're pretty sure you have nothing to say or everything you have to say is stupid
๐ผ You already have a newsletter or book idea but you wan't to become a better and clearer writer
๐ผ You want to streamline the process of gathering ideas and and generating creative output
Since 2013 I have been using the World Wide Web to share my ideas, art, and writing in newsletter format to thousands of readers. In 2017 I began doing this weekly and found that it transformed my writing, my connection to people, and my relationship to the world around me. I have created many different containers for my work that all integrate with my paths of research and exploration
I have had podcasts, radio shows, advice columns, and more - a variety of containers to share my notes on listening, paying attention, and practice with the world I find more CONSISTENCY, DISCIPLINE, DEVOTION, AND SATISFACTION when my art practice is deeply rooted in research and experimentation
