Write a blog without losing your humanity

A workshop about writing blogs and newsletters in ways that are useful, authentic, and make us feel good.

You have so much you could write about.

Your mind and heart are full of things to share. And – miracle – there might even be people who want to read them. 

But when you sit down to do it, everything stops. You’re not sure where to start, what to write about, what’s useful.

Is that familiar?

Writing for the Internet is full of contradictions. We need to be succinct, but also authentic. We want to protect our boundaries, but also be emotionally present with our readers. We might also need to sell things, but we don’t want to turn our voices into ad machines.

I get you.
I’m with you.

This workshop was created for anyone who wants to create or grow a blog, newsletter, Substack, or other online communication portal, while still having fun, being real, and creating content that resonates.

Here’s how it works:

We’ll spend the first three sessions writing and talking about the big questions, for example:

• What’s my my material?

• What makes my voice unique?

• Who am I inspired by, and who am I writing in response to?

From there, we’ll move into production mode, spending a couple sessions in deep creative time, with timed writing, creative challenges, and lots and sharing as we go.

Then we’ll move into some sessions of exploring some of the nitty-gritties, such as:

• The pros and cons of attaching to larger platforms like Patreon and Substack.

• Being accessible to followers who are deaf or blind.

• Editing for Internet-length attention spans.

In the last class, we’ll share our bravest posts yet, celebrate what we’ve created, and chart the path forward.
