I believe that most, if not all, of us want the same things in life.
We want to feel seen. Want to be heard. We want to own our own truth and express ourselves. We want to believe that we are making a positive impact—to feel that we matter and that we have left an indelible mark on those around us in our short time on earth.
That’s what writing has done for me, and I imagine it’s for many of you, too.
But whether you’re creatively blocked or just filled with self-doubt, writing consistently isn’t easy.
Instead of creating the world we envision and sharing the wisdom we want to impart, it’s easy to spend all our time mentally listing reasons why we shouldn’t do this. I know I’ve been there.
If you’re stuck, or you’re just looking for support to help you do your most meaningful and inspiring work, I highly recommend Writers on the Rise 2024a retreat taking place October 25-27th.
