✏️ I Added a Bonus to this Workshop (and it's NOT more writing guilt)
honestly just thrilled to be writing you this email instead of dealing with family holiday drama
Hi writer,
Something John Scalzi said a long time really shook me to my core:
Do you want to write or don’t you? If your answer is “yes, but,” then here’s a small editing tip: what you’re doing is using six letters and two words to say “no.” And that’s fine. Just don’t kid yourself as to what “yes, but” means.
Is it time to stop saying “Yes, I want to write, but _________” and do some lovely, scrappy writing instead?
Do you want to be easier on yourself? And kinder? And still get the work of your heart done?
This Saturday's "Write More, Worry Less" workshop is for the you that you already are today. (You don’t need changing.)
So, while everyone else is still recovering from their first tanked New Year's resolution, you’ll be crafting a writing plan that actually works with your real life and changes as you need it to. No superhuman willpower required. No guilt trips about not writing at 5 AM. Just practical, sustainable strategies that work with who you already are.
Quick reminder of what makes this workshop different:
We're celebrating your natural writing rhythm (even if it's more "chaotic creative" than "morning warrior")
You'll learn to work with your resistance instead of fighting it (because arm-wrestling with your inner critic is not only exhausting but futile — not to gossip, but that jerk’s always at the gym plus I think steroids might be in the mix).
You'll get concrete planning tools that don't require you to suddenly become a spreadsheet enthusiast (unless you want to, you darling Excelfreak!)

NEWLY ADDED BONUS (in case you’ve been on the fence)
💥 3 months of Rachael Says Plan, which is normally $25/month on Patreon. This includes a Monthly live Q and A Zoom call, just for us. Since I don't coach one-on-one anymore, this is as close as it gets to coaching with me without joining one of my 90 Day classes.
Ready to join us? Click HERE.
Can't make it live? No worries! You'll get the recording and all the materials to work through at your own pace.
I can’t wait to talk with you about your new perfectly imperfect writing process,
Onward!

P.P.S. Feel free to send this to someone who was supposed to get you a thoughtful gift for the holidays but dropped the ball and got you a six-pack of Brillo pads instead!
P.P.P.S. For those of you who are also Patrons and just got two different emails from me, can you tell that I’ve been surrounded by family and this is my first time back at the computer? Can you tell that I’m SO HAPPY TO BE AT THE DESK? Can you say two emergency room visits for different people (all okay now), a sparkly new family rift, and soap opera levels of drama? (I was witness, not involved, thank god.) Can you tell I never want to leave my desk again? 🫠 😂 Here’s to writing being our safe space!
