Write about a fear you have faced (successfully or not). Did you plan to confront the fear or did the occasion simply pop up? What happened? What happened after you confronted your fear? How has your fear changed since confronting it? You may have a true victory lap of a story about confronting and thus obliterating a fear. Or, maybe confronting your fear made things much worse.
(Shout-out to my past-self who once was trying to be brave and calm while badly injured as a nervous trainee paramedic tried to start an IV in my arm while turning said arm and the nearby surfaces of the ambulance into a… very gross bloody mess. Needless to say, that made my complicated feelings about needles far, far more complicated. Tattoo needles? Bring it! Acupuncture needles? No problem. A jab in the bicep for a shot? Done. But the minute a blood draw is on the table in a medical setting, I go pale as a ghost and my veins flatten out in hiding like nope, nope absolutely the fuck not noppppppeeee.)
Let’s write.
Before you go, an offer for you: if you’re feeling eager to step into bigger visibility in your creative career and shake things up for yourself with a solid, strategic plan for your creative work, I have a thing for you: The Seen AF Method, my 6-month hybrid course/live-support program to challenge narratives around creative work and visibility and build a unique-to-your-art strategy to set yourself and your work up for more.
For almost a decade, I’ve helped clients work through the projects (creatively, strategically, and emotionally) like book manuscripts and book proposals, film logistics and business plans, public impact/media strategies, event plans, and more, and helped them build compounding visibility with their creative work. I‘ve recently turned that into a 6-month group program to help writers, filmmakers, artists, musicians and other people doing creative work challenge narratives around visibility and build a unique-to-their-art strategy to set themselves up for more.
Doors open August 26.
Register TODAY and also get a 1:1 “unfuck your project” strategy call. Learn more about the whole thing here, and/or book a chat with me about it here and we’ll see if it’s a good fit for you.
(Orrrrr, if you just want the “unfuck your creative project” call, you can book that directly as a one-off, too.)
