Bought a pair of nunchucks. Accidentally found a metaphor for writing.
They started as farming tools—meant to feed people.
Then life happened, and they became weapons.
Sound familiar? Our voice begins as something creative. Then gets repurposed to survive the world.

Rejection makes our brains panic. They have
As Alice Draper (host of My Rejection Story) told us:
"Our survival, historically, has depended on being accepted by our tribe. So we don't want to be rejected because that part of our brain thinks the risk is just as high to send a pitch and get rejected

Cass came in my coaching program knowing how to write academically. What she wanted was to tell stories with authority and heart.
She did a round of coaching with me, then came back for more, and then signed up again.

She's won an Emmy, but she couldn't get her book out of her head... for seven years.

Have you ever truly given yourself the accountability, community, and structure you need to finish your work?
It took me years to gift this to myself, and only once I had it around me did I realize why I had wasted so much time languishing in drafts.

Is an publication the end-all be-all? No

POV: You finally have writer friends.
Which means:
👉 Misery has company during revision season.
👉 Joy has company when you hit submit.
👉 And you don’t have to explain why you’re crying over a paragraph.
Turns out, writing was never meant to be a solo sport.

How do you go from pitching editors to having them text you assignments?
That’s what I’m breaking down in my latest piece: Beyond the pitch: How to get editors to come to *you*

7 years ago today, Welcome to the Writer’s Life came into the world.
It’s the book I wish I’d had when I was starting out, full of the habits, tools, and mindset shifts that turn “I want to write” into “I’m a writer.”
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start, this is it.

On my third attempt, finally got into the Advanced Narrative Workshop at the Book Passage Travel Writer’s Conference. 🙌🏻
Yet another time I almost didn’t apply because I didn’t think I had anything that would get me in.
Don’t self-reject! Shoot your shot.
