Help
Surprisingly vulnerable and complicated, no?
Write about a time you had to ask for help. Maybe that isn’t difficult for you at all. Or, maybe you grew up feeling it wasn’t safe to ask for help or there wasn’t anyone you could ask, so perhaps asking for help is difficult or painful, even. Maybe some era of your life taught you that hyper-independence was the best mode of survival, so even knowing what to ask or what help is even possible is challenging for you or maybe it’s just hard for you to trust your needs will be met if you do ask.
Whatever your relationship with asking for help, today, write about that.
Also: If you’re a writer or work with writers and are currently promoting a book, event or a new piece you have published somewhere, and are interested in doing a guest post here, here’s all you need to know to make that happen.
And, speaking of asking for help: If you want to do more development-focused work like what’s in this post, sort out how bigger visibility in your creative career could benefit you and shake things up for yourself with a solid, strategic plan for your creative work, I want to help you. Enter: The Seen AF Method, my project to help creatives challenge narratives around creative work and visibility and build a unique-to-your-art strategy to set yourself and your work up for more.
Doors opened this past week and I’ve been having great conversations about it with all kinds of creative people like writers, editors, filmmakers, actors, dancers, chefs, artists and musicians. 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.
