Hey Reader, I've worked with thousands of writers over the past five years, and even though every writer's journey is different, many of us face the same struggles. One of them is idea generation. Even experienced writers can sometimes feel stuck in a creative rut and experience writer's block. Click here for a new perspective on how to constantly come up with great content ideas. 🖍️ I'm in week #2 of publishing Notes on Substack, and my excitement is still high! After nearly a decade of writing long-form posts, writing short-form currently feels like a breath of fresh air. Publishing Notes allows me to quickly share my thoughts and daily insights without overthinking: I literally spent the past five years doing what I'm good at, so challenging myself to try something new has been really refreshing and exciting. We'll spend a lot of time talking about our plans on Substack in our private Mastermind community next month.

If this is something you've been thinking about lately, reply to this email so we can chat! 😊 |

I'm not replacing those. And to be fair, Substack has proven to be an excellent addition with lots of benefits that I don't have on...
Hey Reader, Over the last 4 years, I've worked with thousands of writers, and one question I see beginners share all the time is this: What should I even write about?! There are many ways to decide what to write about, but I'll share a simple one today: Write what you care about. One of the wonderful writers I got to work with this year is Melon Dash, an adult swimming instructor. I was lucky to meet Melon in person back in June and have a deep conversation about her work and what writing...
It's sad story time, Reader.. my friend canceled on me last Friday, and I was too lazy to make new plans. My fiancé Philip has been on a long walk (his newest obsession), so I was alone at home. And guess what a writer with no plans does on a Friday evening?! I wrote newsletters! My ✨creative juices✨ were flowing and I wrote three newsletters for you. Sent one on Friday. One is scheduled for later this week. And the third was supposed to be sent.. today. Except, it's gone. When I opened...
