The world needs your story.

We all have a story to tell.

It lives inside of us, waiting for the day when we will give it life, speaking or writing it into being.

But the birthing process—a labor of love—can be intimidating, on so many levels. Where do I start? What if I’m not a “good” writer? How can I figure out what to include and what to omit?

Sound familiar?

If so, I need to let you in on a little secret: It doesn’t have to be so hard.

“I signed up because I worried my writing wasn’t concise or clear enough, and I felt like judging those things always felt too subjective. I walked away with objective ways to truly evaluate the quality of my writing, along with loads of ideas for how to improve every paragraph! Thanks for giving me confidence!
